Crazy 8's


I know I'm a little behind with keeping up with our life, but better late than never right :) 

I'm always trying to get Lance to go running and I've found the easiest way to get him to go is to sign us up for a race. Then he at least has to come with me and do it. Something about the competition helps us run faster and faster, we hate to have people pass us. So a couple of weeks ago we ran in the Kingsport Crazy 8's race. It is the fastest 8k in the world they say, and they give out a lot of money to the people who break all the records. Unfortunately, we didn't break any records, but we had a great time running it. The race started at 9:58 pm, and it was neat because we ran through the town, and people came out and sat on their lawns to cheer us all on.

It was way fun,  so if anyone wants to join us next year come on over :)

That sounds fun -- a race that isn't butt early or in the heat of the day. I am seriously "joining" the running club after this baby and we are doing a race together! I think that would be so fun!

I am so glad that someone has to run. And I am glad that it is not me. You two are perfect for the challenge. I had so much fun with you in New York. I am glad you came.

Exciting news about Becca and Kacie.
You look like you two are having fun!

That's the most motivating way to get me running too! How do you find these night races? The only ones I've done are at 7 am! You two are awesome and inspiring!
