Temple to Temple Relay

At the end of the Summer semester my old roommate Alex contacted me and asked if I would run in the temple to temple relay. I had wanted to and gladly took a place on her team. She got did ALL of the organizing and I even got Kayla on the team. We ran with a couple of people from my old ward and some new people that I didn't know. The race started at the Rexburg Temple and was to end at the Idaho Falls temple. I'm not sure how far it was but it was something like thirty six miles? Thank Goodness it was a relay!! There were eight legs. I thankfully got one of the shorter ones, four miles, and was the second to last runner. It was possibly the most windy day possible. There was actually one point where I am pretty sure the wind actually blew me backwards! I just new that I had to finish, this was pretty hard considering the fact that I hadn't ran for a couple of weeks. My team stopped halfway through to give me a little cheer and then they were there as I was passing the baton off to Kayla to run the last leg. We met Kayla about 100 yards from the finish and ran in with her. It was SOOO much fun! All in all it took us 5 hours and 33 minutes! Yes that is a long time but hey we finished and we were not last, this is all that matters:) So who wants to be on my relay team for next year??
