More Runners Needed

If you have a friend who'd like to run, let me know. We have room for more runners!!

Update

We are good to go for the race. I will be driving vehicle 2 and I'm thinking maybe I'll thinking about being a pacer. I'm not usually a fan of bike riding but maybe I'll make an exception. So keep running!

Hmm, bad news...

Not entirely bad news. The good news is I won't have permanent, painful knee damage. The bad news is I already have permanent cartilage damage and will be having surgery to remove a piece of calcified cartilage from my knee. So, I have been strongly advised not to run the race. I do think I can still be a driver and team leader. I'll be checking with Dan on the details so I'll keep you posted!

I am excited!

I have great perserverance. I have walked several rounds of golf.

Del Sol

There are 4 relays to the whole Ragnar scheme. We are running the Ragnar Del Sol; for those of you who don't habla Espanol, Del Sol is Spanish for "The Sol." (Any of you Chris Farley fans, you will know what I am talking about.) But seriously, Del Sol means "of the sun;" appropriate name for a race run in central Arizona (yes, even in February).

Just wanted to send a shout of support out to all my fellow runners in cyberspace (Julie tells me you are real, but how can I know for sure, really?). Buena suerte mis amigos :)

Welcome to Team (Name TBD)

Welcome to Team (Name TBD)! I can't believe I'm actually preparing to run is this race. I'm incredibly excited! Thanks to Dan Hill for making it happen. We're a bit behind the mark in our preparations but as many of you are already great runners I'm sure it will be no problem. So here are the details...

1. Go to ragnarrelay.com to review the race.

2. Send a check for $30 payable to Julie Palmer (call/text/email for my address). That secures your spot and is considered a commitment. The money will be used to purchase supplies for our team such as team shirts, rental vehicles, food, etc. If there is any money left over after the race it will be refunded. We may have a few alternates but please don't count on it. If you must drop out after Dec. 31 there will be a $10 substitution fee. If you drop out after Jan. 31 there will be a $20 substitution fee. The substitution fees are per Ragnar policy.

3. With your check please list which runner you would like to be ie. Runner 3. You must run the legs as listed so if you're Runner 3 you would run legs 3, 15 and 27. I have already claimed Runner 8. Keep in mind vehicle 1 will have runners 1-6 and vehicle 2 has runners 7-12. If you want to be in a vehicle with are particular person (ahem, ahem - my out-of-town friends) make sure you choose a running position in their vehicle.

4. Start running. If you aren't a runner yet Ragnar has a running schedule to help you get in shape.


5. List any team name ideas you have (include with check and runner preferences).

6. Email me (julie_ann_palmer@yahoo.com) your email address so I can add you as a blog contributer. That will allow you to post, ask questions, add photos, etc.

7. If you aren't already excited - GET EXCITED!!!
