My friends at work talked me in to running the Wasatch Back Relay. It was a very challenging course. I ran friday at 3:00pm, again at 2:00 am to 3:00 am, and again Saturday at 1:00 pm. I was nauseous and had diarrhea and did not get any sleep. I am not quite sure how people call that fun. I ran a total of 15 miles and I felt it was harder than my marathon of 26.2 miles. I was asked to run it 3 weeks before the race, so I was not prepared like I would have liked to have been. I think it was harder because of that. We got to sit in a car with 5 other women and 1 man for 36 hours and bond and smell stinky together. It sure makes you appreciate the finer things in life, like flushing toilets, a bed to sleep in and showers. I am glad that I can say I did it, but next time I think I would prefer a marathon again. At least you can do that in 4-5 hours and be done. But hey life is about new experiences right.
