I just want to take a minute to brag on Eric because he accomplished something awesomely hard this past weekend. He completed the Ragnar Relay. What's this you ask? It's a relay race from Chattanooga to Nashville all on foot. . He was on a team of 12 and they take turns running 196 miles. Eric had 3 legs of the trip totaling just under 17 miles. Sure people run marathons all the time which is about 10 more miles than he did but when you rest for several hours in between runs and then start back up again it's much more difficult that doing a consecutive run.
He did great and during training he got way too skinny. I told him he needs to eat a cheeseburger..or 10 to put some weight back on.
Here he is at mile 16, running his last mile of his 3rd run. About 6am on Saturday morning.
The entire team crosses the finish line together. Eric had completed his last run several hours prior and changed into jeans. I had to clarify that so you didn't think he was one of those people that ran in jeans.
Mason was so proud of his daddy and begged to run with him to the finish line.
Never too tired to carry his boy.

Too bad he didn't really run in jeans: they would make great photos for my silly blog: joggingjeans.com
