Ragnar....Will you ever return?


This month has brought back some great memories from a year ago.  Last year at this time, I was diligently preparing to run some 200 miles with my "crazy running friends".  I was pushing the miles on our Saturday morning runs.  I was running farther than I ever had before.  I had amazing will power to make my body reach beyond my goals and I was enjoying the company of wonderful friends. What happened?  Today I find myself barely able to complete a simple 3 miler.  My workouts are few and far between. I seem to have no will power to push through the pain and some of those wonderful friends are now running hundreds of miles away from here.  Such sadness!  

Oh Ragnar...Will you ever return?  Will we ever have the chance to re-unite those ladies who are "running from the kids"?  Will I ever get another chance to run, drive, sleep, repeat?  

Oh please, Ragnar...return...Texas is waiting!

Michele, hang in! Don't give up. Im' running slow right along with you, just a few miles away. Perhaps we need to plan to do the Ragnar Wasatch Back this summer? Would you be up for that kind of commitment?
