Ragnar with our pups

This past weekend, the Leash Your Fitness team did something that we NEVER do!! We did a running events that was NOT dog friendly!! Our pups said…..WHAT??? So we did what ANY person in our position who LOVES their pup would do, we took blown up photos of them and ran with those! The best part, we didn’t have to pick up any poop!!  haha

The Ragnar Trail Relay is a 24 hour relay race. There were 3 laps. A yellow, 6 mile lap.  A green, 3.4 mile lap that was chock full of hills. A red, 3.9 mile lap that had even STEEPER hills!  Our team was made up of 8 hard core runners, well maybe not hard core but we all love to run!! Well, maybe not necessarily in the middle of the night in the rain but it is good to have a challenge every once in a while, right??   Yes, it did rain ALL NIGHT long and it was cold BUT we all had fun. Even our runner who broke his foot had a good time! His tough wife, Becky did his lap which gave her the 2 hilliest laps back to back. We had people step of their box and not only run trails when they are used to running road BUT ran at night in the rain!! We were so proud of EVERYONE on our team.  It wasn’t easy but we DID IT in less than 24 hours with little to no sleep!  Many of the other teams were dressed in costume and they gave prizes for the best camp so one even had a Christmas Tree!! Lots of laughs, met a lot of cool people and proved that sleep is for wimps! At least for one day!
