Last weekend I was able to run the Ragnar Wasatch back. It was quite the experience. Everything went pretty smoothly other than the idiot who slept in and made the whole team over an hour late ( I am so sorry!). It was challenging and exhausting, but so fun and very worth it. My aunt described it perfectly as being like pregnancy. She said it's so hard and you never want to do it again. Then it's over and you forget about the hard part and can't wait for the next time. My team consisted of cousins and my aunt Kristen. We were named Un. Bell. eivable, and ran in the the honor of Grandma and Grandpa Bell.
It was such a blast to spend two days and a night squished in a car with some of my favorite people. Thank you to my awesome cousin for founding and owning this amazing race. As a first time runner, I was overwhelmed, impressed and so proud of him. What an amazing idea to make running a team sport. Pretty cool to think that as a family we ran from Logan to Park City. 188 miles!!
I ran 3 legs. A total of 15 miles. My favorite leg that I ran was at midnight in the farm land of Morgan. The stars were bright, the air was crisp, other than the sound of Sprinklers it was silent. It was heavenly.
Thank you to all my teammates for the conversations and laughs. You guys worked so hard in organizing. I just got out of the car and ran, when I was told to do so. Maybe next time I can be a little more help...or at least get out of bed on time. I love you all!!!

WOW! I'm so proud of you Sara! Good job!
Awesome Sara! My brother ran it too!! You runner people amaze me!!!
Sara, good job!! I am reading all of your blogs and feeling a little jealous that I missed out. It sounds like a whole lot of fun, tiring, but fun!
So how did you say that all in a few short paragraphs? I'm amazed, you really covered all the important stuff in a few paragraphs. You did such a great job on your runs, but more importantly were a fabulous teammate. Macy and I were raving about you on Sunday talking about how mellow and fun you are while still being so dialed in. You're honestly just the best and I was so grateful you were there to laugh with. I love you! The only problem is I don't know how to go from being with you constantly for 36 hours to seeing every few months. (Okay even my comments are out of control long!)
VERY impressive! I can't believe you guys ran from Logan to Park City. That's amazing!!
