Well, Cory ran in the Ragnar Relay run this last weekend. I was very eventful. He really enjoyed it, and would love to do it again next year. This run was a team of 12 members, and each member of the team runs 3 legs. It is a total of 188 miles. It starts in Logan and ends up in Park City. It was a rainy weekend and by the end of the run it was storming. Cory was the 12th runner and was the last one to run. His team met him at the finish line and they ran it together. In the pictures you can see that he is soaked. The kids and I drove down to Park City to watch him run the finish line. When we got there the weather was pretty good. In a matter of minutes the clouds came and it started to down pour and we went running to find us a tent to get under. The rain was ferocious. Anyway, I am very proud of Cory. Good Job Babe!

This is where the kids and I were. This is inside the tent that we were under. The finish line is behind those other tents.

I was happy to hear that it wasn't so bad that he would never want to do it again! It is an experience full of a variety of emotions. :) Thanks for letting him spend all the time training Leslie. I know it's a sacrifice. He did do a great job (especially the last 5.5 miles in the pouring rain without any support from his team)!

P.S. Scott wants me to clarify that it is me Nat-calling Cory "Babe" and not him. (Even though we all know that is his pet name for you!) Nat
