John's entire family...well most of them have all formed a team and entered a Marathon called the Wasatch back relay. http://www.ragnarrelay.com/wasatchback/index.php
This race basically consists of 12 members on the team who alternate running from Logan, Utah to Park City Utah. When you are not running you are riding ahead in a team van. The whole thing begins tomorrow and runs through the NIGHT and ends Saturday afternoon.
Back when my brother in law Ed proposed the idea to the family I think my response was something like, "I'd rather DIE then run...but have fun anyway."
Something obnoxious like that. I'm sure he appreciated my support.
In all honesty I knew I'd be pregnant by this time, and John would be in the middle of finals so it would not have worked. But man am I ever WISHING we could be a part of the fun now! Sitting in a van for 24 hours WITH some of the funnest people ever, playing games, getting absolutely no sleep, and eating from a cooler while seeing new places.
Yup- I wish we were there.
Well...except for the whole Running part of it!!
GOOD LUCK FAMILY.
We love you all and hope it is a blast!!!

How awesome that John's family would do that. How fun. I want to run a marathon someday, but for now a mile or two sounds good enough for me! :)
I just read your story of your announcement to your kids and Sam's comment...that made me laugh so much! I love the stuff kids come up with. Your blog is always full of stuff to make me laugh...with you not at you!
Tan, Seriously THANK YOU for making it possible for us to go. We couldn't do it without you! You are awesome!
