The End Has Come

Yes, the end has come. It's March 1st, and that means that our time is up to complete the 565 mile Run Ranger Run event. Did we do it? Did we as a team log 565 miles in 28 days?? 

YES WE DID! 569 miles in 28 days to be exact. As well as 325.00 raised as a team for GallantFew! At the end of the entire event, a total of 45,000 miles were walked, biked or ran. They even raised 117,000 dollars towards GallantFew!! 

117,000!!!!! It's amazing what can be done in a short amount of time if a bunch of people get together. I am looking forward to this Novemeber. That is when you can register your team and begin raising funds. I really want to get a head start as early as I can for Run Ranger Run 2015! 

So as a team we accomplished this great fete, an I couldn't be prouder of these two ladies or more thankful. It's because if their hardwork and determination that this accomplishment even became a reality. 

I met Cicily last January. We were taking the same phlebotomy course. I am pretty shy in public and it takes me a bit to kind of warm up and get to know people. So I think that's why a lot of my friends are talkative and filled with personality. I knew that Cicily and I would be friends from the beginning. We both have two boys and a girl, all about the same age. Being in Utah it can be difficult to make new friends since we are not LDS and the majority of people here are. We are not part of the "clique" that makes up of most of the families here. But, with Cicily being LDS and I am not; that didn't matter to her. We became friends regardless and I just love her. 

 Her family just moved to Arizona and we stay in touch through Facebook. When I posted about the RRR event, she instantly volunteered and registered. I thank her for her desire to be a part I this and her sweet personality. 

Next up..my sweet, kind and amazing aunt. Without her, I'm not sure this would have been imaginable. She inspires me everyday to keep moving and to dream big. She was there the day I was born and has been there ever since. I'm pretty sure that God didn't give me any sisters for a reason. I was blessed with some amazing aunts who are better than any sister and Heidi is one of them. 

Last week I went on a small run then followed it with a 25 mile bike ride. I kept thinking "how in the hell does she do this for 80 more miles and do a swim, and a marathon and still be alive after??!!??" She inspires me all the time and is always there to answer any question or listen to any problem. Love her ❤️

I want to say THANK YOU to these two wonderful ladies for your friendship and desire to be apart of this Run Ranger Run event. It meant so much to me!!

Now as March begins, what next??! 

Training for my first triathlon will commence. I am eager to see how this goes. Also I've decided to cut one thing each month..so for this month it will be dairy. Which I should be doing anyways, but hey it's a start. 

Bring on spring and new adventures. I'm beyond ready. 

The sweetest boys I know! 

Sweet girl! 

Thank your military for all that they do. If you would like to donate towards GallantFew go to their website and do so!!! Thank you for your prayers while we went on this journey.
