CALLING ALL ADVENTURE RACERS!!
Must make this short but worth reading of course:) I still have to finish packing for my retreat, and I am headed in early to work today! Can you believe it’s Friday the 13th AGAIN!!!!
YESTERDAYS EATS WORDLESS
FRIDAY WORKOUT+GREEN MONSTER
This morning I did an easy 3.5 miles with Jill and Rick(runny buddies). It was a nice easy 9.5 mile pace. We talked the whole time, so the run went by so fast! It’s so weird running the entire thing in the dark, stupid time change!
I came home quickly and made another yummy Green Monster.
HARDCORE RUNNERS WANTED
Kristen and I have been Twitting like crazy about a race that we would like to get some people together for. It is called Wild West Relay in Colorado, August 7th-8th 2009. We would love to get 12 runners together to do this with, but we could also do it with 6 runners too!
THE WILD WEST RELAY IS A FORM OF ADVENTURE RACE
“The WWR is an adventure race in that teams are running continuously through the night to reach the finish. Many find the highlight of their experience to be their run in the middle of the night under the stars or full moon.”
The 200-mile course is divided into 36 legs, and each team member runs three times, every twelfth leg, in rotation (i.e. Runner 1 runs Legs 1, 13, 25). Which means if we got 12 runners it would be around 15 miles, if we get six runner is will be around 30 miles!
Ok so who is interested?!!!! I think this would be an amazing bonding experience, and so much FUN!
WRAP IT UP
I am so excited about this Women’s Retreat, I have been starving for a time of reflection and GIRL time is always good too:) I will not be blogging until Sunday night.

Hahaha I am shocked to see you describe a green liquid green! I am, however, a true believer that with food you really have to taste it rather than just judge by looks!
Have an awesome Friday!
I knoww I hate daylight savings too! Green monster looks good! I think I'll give it a whirl this weekend :)
Have a great weekend at your retreat!
That would be sooo much fun! If only Colorado was just a tiny bit closer to Florida I would be in
Have fun at your retreat! That run looks insane!!
I'll be back in Utah by that time so it wouldn't be far for me to go. Keep me updated because I am def. interested! Have a blast on your retreat!
That race sounds so fun! Wish I could do it but its too far for me to travel since I will be in school:( Have a great time at your retreat this weekend!
Whoa, that sounds like a fun race!
Have a great time this weekend!
Yay! I'm so excited! I hope we can get some people together pretty quickly.
BTW, that elevation is going to be KILLER.
that sounds like SO MUCH fun!!!! I just dont think I have the funds for the travelling :(
have a great weekend at the retreat!!
My running partner and I were just talking about this relay this morning! I think our running travel funds are tapped though. :(
I'd kill for that burrito! I'm so hungry!
Browsing food blogs when mortally hungry is not such a great idea - I'd eat a cow now!
Oooh, I might be in for the race! I am taking a lot of time off for the wedding, so that's my only hesitation...
Greetings from Fort Collins! The Wild West is a blast, you should make it happen.
Hey are non-bloggers allowed to do the run, too? I'm definitely interested! :)
omg if that were in cali or fl i would totally do it...when do you have to know absolutely by? because i might be able to start saving now..:D
abby was just asking me about one that is the end of june... I would almost be more apt to do this one because I'm just so afraid of how long it's going to take me to get back up and going. I think it would be super fun... when is the deadline for everyone to decide?
I wish I lived closer cause I would definitely do run in the adventure race!
I would totally do that race if I lived closer! That would be so much fun!
Have a great weekend.
have a great time on your retreat! and that race looks fun!
How did you like the TJ's Garden Veggie Lasagna? Gerson didn't care for it but at 290 calories and 13 g of protein, I am in LOVE with it lol. However, we LOVED the Amy's burritos so much, we went and bought more! I will be said not shopping with you this weekend, but I hope you have an awesome time on your retreat! :) Oh! Wed morning, I was down 2 lbs! 38 more to go! That doesn't seem so bad...THANK YOU BOBS!
I LOVE adding peanut butter to my smoothies!! Great choice! :)
Have a great weekend Bobbi!

The "Wild West" run sounds like a blast! Good luck in getting a team together - that's an awesome idea - and a great way to connect up with some pretty amazing people!
VERY COOL ABOUT THE RELAY (Oh that I werent a full time babymama---Id SO join you)!
I ran Reach the Beach last Fall (210 miles in 24 hours) and it was so fun. It takes a ton of planning and coordination, but definitely worth it.
Have a great time on your retreat Bobbi!
I would love to do the run, but I'm working on my knees and have no idea what my mileage will be like by then! Sounds like a blas though!
You have my interest piqued with this race idea....hrm....
Have an awesome time this wknd!!
Bobbi,
Oh my gosh, relay races are so much fun! I've done Hood to Coast twice and both times were amazing. My husband and I planning a move to CO, and hoping to be there before August...our house is on the market, and we don't want to move until it sells
Count me in as a maybe. If we're out there by then, I'd love to join you. Gosh, that means I'll need to start running again soon. :)
When do you need a definite answer?
Hmmm, that race is very tempting. I want to start doing some destination races. Travel + running = bliss. I just found your blog a couple weeks ago, but I'd love to get in on this, perhaps.
By when do you need to need to have the team finalized?
how did you like that vegetable lasagna from tjs? i bought it once, but someone in my family ended up eating it on me!
