Just keep running

Dory: Hey there, Mr. Grumpy Gills. When life gets you down do you wanna know what you've gotta do?

Marlin: No I don't wanna know.

Dory: [singing] Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming. What do we do? We swim, swim.

Marlin: Dory, no singing.

Dory: [continuing] Ha, ha, ha, ha, ho. I love to swim. When you want to swim you want to swim.

Marlin: Now I'm stuck with that song... Now it's in my head.

Dory: Sorry.

If Dory (from the movie Finding Nemo) were a land animal, she probably would have said, "Just keep running. Just keep running. Just keep running, running, running.... I love to run. When you want to run you want to run."

This weekend I joined The Big Kahunas team to run all weekend in the Wasatch Back Ragnar Relay. For those of you who have not yet heard of this race, the Wasatch Back is a 188 mile relay race from Logan to Park City. Each team has 12 runners that run around the clock for two days. Each team member runs three legs of the race. Our team mascot was Nemo, who was passed from team member to team member at every exchange during the race. Here is the team before the race with Nemo.

Some pictures of the team along the way. Pictured here are members of the Finlay and Crump families and their Grandparents.





My last run was up a mountain leading to Park City otherwise known as "the Ragnar." I don't know if I would have made it were it not for some serious cheering from the team as you can see.



My friend Ian ran the second half of the hill in the pouring rain. We are pictured at the top after completing the run.
