Moanin For Motrin

That's what I was doing last weekend when I finished the Coeur d' Alene to Sandpoint Walk Relay Race! My BF Beth asked me to join her team to walk with her during her legs of the race. I thought, "Cool it will be fun to walk with Beth while we catch up." But it was way different than a leisurely walk with a friend. First of all, it was actually a race. So we were speed walking the WHOLE time (you got disqualified if you ran). It was so intense. There was not one part of my body that wasn't in pain. Beth and I did awesome though. We averaged about 12.5-13 minute miles. We had three legs and totalled about 15.5 miles! Our team won by a long shot. But we can't feel too good about it considering we were about 20 years younger than anyone else walking in the race. Here are some picture of our fun adventure. PS, the pictures are very out of order.

This is on our second leg of the race. 4.7 miles of constant hills. This was definitely the worst part of the race.

This was after we finished when we were announced the WINNERS!

Mine and Beth's first leg was also the Wildest Wig contest. We had to walk 6.6 miles with these huge wigs on our head. Not the most comfortable, but it was beautiful scenery.

The race was a ton of fun and I can't wait to do it again next year. Maybe we will even try the Spokane to Sandpoint Run relay. It was pretty freaky though when you are walking at 2:30 in the morning on a dirt road in the forrest with animals howling around you. It was quite the adventure. Thanks Beth for inviting me to go.
