This is me and five ladies in my ward who awakened at 2:15 am Friday morning to drive to Chatanooga. We wanted to run in the freezing cold, in the middle of the night, with only 2 hours of sleep in 42 hours just to get a finishing medal. But, we did it! 196.3 miles later we almost had frostbite, bags under our eyes and sore legs, oh sore legs. A few things I learned over the last 48 hours:
1. Rural Tennessee is beautiful, even when wild dogs are chasing you down the road at 3:00
in the morning...FREAKY!
2. There is no one nicer than a man selling head lamp batteries who willingly gave me 8 AA batteries for my breast pump. Said it would make for a great story.
3. I could be a wet nurse if ever needed.
4. The Ragnar staff makes WAY too much money.
5. Even though I missed my boys like crazy they apparently didn't miss me at all. Ty had Lucas and Lucas had his bottle of lotion. This is how I found them after 2 days without a women...they were just fine.
6. I have the kindest husband who simply wants to keep his wife and son happy.
