Despite some “logistical difficulties,” NYC Bridgerunners took second in our division. This is our tongue-in-cheek trophy.

I’m loving all these SoCal Ragnar updates.

It’s getting me pumped for my consecutive Massachusetts weekends, first at Ragnar Cape Cod w the NYC Bridgerunners and then Reach the Beach with the team formerly known as the Runsters. I’m ready to infuse some delicious fun back into running and eager to get some running-through-fatigue training for my upcoming 50 miler.

Be safe and run fast, SoCal teams!

Dear Team Super Heroes In Training (S.H.I.T.),

Take care of my boys this weekend, especially that road relay virgin. Make good choices, and have fun.

Photo finish. This is what it looks like to finish a 24-hour, 200-mile relay with a group of amazing and inspiring teammates! Shake what ya mamma gave ya.

What you don’t see is me shrieking at Andrea to run faster because I was still being chased down by a woman in purple. Thanks WIP for the motivation AND for allowing me to show off the two most important things Bridgerunners has taught me: how to beast a downhill and how to run around pedestrians.
GO BRIDGERUNNERS!

The RAGNAR New York relay is less than 2 weeks away and the MOVE YOUR BOOTY TEAM is getting psyched!
What is Ragnar? Basically we 12 brave souls are driving to Woodstock, New York…and running home (collectively). Sharing the 200 miles, we each will take on 3 legs of various lengths.
My race “legs” aren’t too long (neither are my actual legs, but I mean portions of the race!), but they do have some serious hills and I don’t want to let my team down by being roly-poly slow! Luckily, even in the urban concrete jungle that is New York, bridges are endless hills going both ways (plus wind).
Hopefully the Williamsburg Bridge will help me survive the hardcore hills upstate! GO TEAM!! Let the countdown begin!!

MOTIVATION: Not being “roly-poly slow.”
Hahahaha. Not laughing bc this girl is slow (she is anything but) but rather because this is what runs through my mind all the time.

Dark roads like this one make me think of the awesomeness that is night running, which in turn makes me think of Ragnar!
With necessary gear check squared away, it’s time to focus on more pressing team needs, like grocery lists and accessories. Yeah, it’s like that.
“…I did 7 miles yesterday in 95 degree heat on a diet of coffee and beer and cheeseburgers. Wasn’t pretty but I survived. Barely.” - CK.
Obviously, we’re in it to win it.
