Wow! months of training really paid off :)
12 crazy girls (13 with our pacer/lifesaver!)**202 miles!!! (Prescott to Mesa)**30 hours** very little sleep!**crazy trails, wind storms, hills, water holes, rushing traffic, and pitch dark runs** lots of potty breaks in the oh so lovely port-a-potties**laughing, laughing, laughing!! Some crying! **memories! So many memories!
The big race finally came and went :( we did awesome!! We placed first in our division of being an all girl team and overall we were 89th (223 teams total) That's right I said first!!
I am blessed to know these women. AMAZING!!
we each had goals/paces we wanted to keep. We all accomplished them! It feels good. very good! (this is just a preview more pictures to come)
(top 2 pictures came from Alice-thank you!)
Did I mention my baby is 5 months!?! I am not one to brag. I am just proud of myself for accomplishing a goal that i had. Running at 5am when i still had a newborn who wakes up a few times a night has been so hard, but to have 12 other friends support and cheer you on has been an experience i will never forget. Thank you girls! You really will never know how much you all mean to me.

An experience I'll never forget! And yes, we pretty much rocked!! (And I've said it a million times already, but you are AMAZING! Way to do it with a nursing baby!!)
That is soooo impressive! I am proud to know you and can truly understand your pain with the nursing newborn. I could not have done that and am so amazed that you did it! Way to go!
hey lizzy - i knew you were a lamb but there are a few of them so i never really connected the dots. chea's family were in one our first wards when i first married. her sister shani was one of my laurels. we also were in a ward with susan brian lamb in chandler and jerry lamb was one of steve's best young mens leaders as he was growing up...are they related too?!
