Wasatch Back- Ragnar 2010

Wow!!! What an experience! We are so grateful to have been a part of this and especially with such an awesome team. Mike and I were in Van 2 of this HUGE relay and it was so so so much fun. We finished in 30 hours and 12 minutes. We placed 3rd in Public Services out of I think 7 teams. Pretty dang good..We kicked booty!!

Mike was our driver...however he ran my second leg with me in the dark with rolling hills ahhh. He also ran 'the famous RAGNAR hill' with Kasey. He did awesome;) Our team was the best...we were all troopers and did amazing on each of our legs!

Thanks All for an amazing experience!

We look forward to Vegas and next year Wasatch Back:-)

The Final Inspection
The policeman stood and faced his God,which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining just as brightly as his brass. "Step forward now, policeman. How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek? To my church have you been true?
The policeman squared his shoulders and said. "No, I guess I ain't because those of us who carry a badge can't always be a Saint." I've had to work most Sundays and at times my talk is rough, and sometimes I've been violent, because the streets are awfully tough. But I never took a penny that wasn't mine to keep... though I worked a lot of overtime when the bills got to steep. And I never passed a cry for help though at times I shook with fear, and sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept unmanly tears. I know I don't deserve a place among the people here. They never wanted me around except to calm their fear. If you've a place for me here, Lord, it needn't be so grand, I never expected or had too much, but if you don't...I'll understand"
There was a silence all around the throne where the Saints had often trod. As the policeman waited quietly for the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, policeman. You've borne you burdens well. Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets. You've done your time in Hell"

"Wife's Goodnight Prayer"
Dear God as I ready myself for a night of rest take care of my police officer he's the best.
Watch over him as he works the streets, With danger and violence surrounding his beat
I pray every night he's able to come home, because I don't want to grow old all alone.
I know I married for better or worse, But some days God, his job is a curse.
So please hear my prayers, Dear God this night, Because I am a police officers wife.
