#RagnarTN - The ReCap!

10/29/2014

After a rather uneventful Thursday evening of coordinating with Van 1, getting the Michigan folk from Van 2 down safe and sound in to Nashville and one of the worst waiters in the history of Olive Garden, dawn finally started to break on Friday morning, and the incandescent glow of the orange Ragnar Start Line greeted us. 

It was 7:00am on Friday morning, and I was headed out to begin my second attempt at #RagnarTN, after having injured myself during last year's attempt. Along with five Ragnar newbies, we were about to undertake an event that I have said before can be "life changing."

So, #RagnarTN officially ended Saturday and overall, I was pretty pleased with it.  After last year's hamstring debacle, I was thrilled to make it through this year's race without sustaining an injury.  Considering I was still feeling the side effects of that hamstring injuries during  Ragnar Trail Atlanta and Ragnar Trail West Virginia earlier in the year, I was super excited to come out of this Ragnar with no major aches and pains.

In fact, I don't think I've EVER felt so good post Ragnar!

Which is why I am super excited that after this week of "recovery" I'm going to be starting my 25k training!  The 25k is my stepping stone to the ultimate goal of running a 50k by the end of 2015.  I'll hopefully be documenting my progress on this website as I progress towards my goal of becoming an "ultra runner."  We'll see how 25k and 50k go, and then maybe consider longer distances.  But for now, we're skipping marathons and going for the big time!  Can't wait!

So recently, I've been debating with myself about a couple of personal records, or PR's that have been set.

And mostly, I've decided to recognize them.  But I still have debates about it with myself every now and then... 

I doubt their validity.

It's one of those internal debates that rages on.  Like if a tree falls in the woods and no one is around, does it make a sound?  Or what is the sound of one hand clapping?

So You Want To Run A Ragnar...

Anyone who's read my blog, or followed me on instagram or twitter would have noticed that I'm a pretty big fan of Ragnar Relay.  I did two last year (Adirondacks and Tennessee) and have run two already this year (Atlanta Trail and West Virginia Trail) with a third (Tennessee) coming up in just over a week.

But one of the most challenging things is trying to convince other people to also love Ragnar... And if they've never done it before, well...  Then trying to explain Ragnar can be kind of confusing...

Also known as the post I almost titled "I Will Wear Your Shirt."

Ah, #womancrushwednesday. #wcw

How many times do you fill my social media feeds with women, of all shapes and sizes, proclaiming our love for them?

But it got me thinking the other day...  Who are my lady crushes?  My female role models?  Those women who inspire and motivate me?
