I have an itch.

This weekend is the Del Sol (Arizona) Ragnar Relay.  I ran this race last year and I can confidently say that it was the strongest race that I have run so far.  I was fast, I had never been injured, and I even ran a 4th leg.  It was awesome!  I'm totally missing it this year.

I'm missing it so much that I even asked a friend if she would be willing to drive to AZ with me to see if I could just hop on a team last minute.

Then I remembered that I have kids and somebody has to feed them and bathe them.

So, I'm missing it this year.  And I'm sad.  What's a girl to do?

Sign up for another relay, of course!!!

On May 12th I will be running my first Red Rock Relay.  I have heard so many good things about their race to Zion (Southern Utah) in the fall, and I was stoked to see a relay in Moab- which just so happens to be one of my favorite places on this planet.  I somehow managed to con 5 other people into running with me and we will be team Hell's Revenge for the 70 mile, 2 leg, 6 person relay.

Who wouldn't want to run in country that looks like this?

There are still spots open, but they are capping it at 250 teams this year.  It's a short relay- not an overnighter like a Ragnar- so it is all the fun without the misery.  Get on board and let's race, eh?  When you register, be sure to tell them that Amylee Nicoll sent you!

Have you ever run a relay?

I have run 4 relays so far and they are my absolute FAVORITE part about running.  What's better than one race?  2 or 3, of course!
