Ragnar Relay Valley of Fire 2009

Run...Kim.....Run!!!

My first run was straight up hill and it was quite a challenge for me

We were lucky to have Cptn. Bill East and his wife Sharon in our van. They were so much fun, and he was the life of the party.

The Van

LT. Rick Rassmussen was a blast to have on the team too. He drove the van the whole time except for when he was running. He did awesome!

Sharon East (Momma) She ran the leg before mine and she would slap the bracelet on my wrist and then she would slap my butt and say "you go girl" She was so much fun.

Sarg. Carl Sanderson...... He's my good bud and it was a blast doing this run with him. Love him.

Melinda Rassmussen taking a break. She is an awesome runner and was so much fun to be around.

Sharon and Carl

Melinda....doing what she is great at.

Oh Yeah!!! What a stud muffin. "Go Carl"

Do you like the nipples that we wore. He ran in them the whole time:)

Our team name and logo. Thanks Melinda for having our shirts made for us.

Bill ran one of his legs with nothing but his reflective vest. When he got back he said he needed a sports bra to wear because he chaffed his nipples. It just so happened that I had an extra one. Like I said.......He was the life of the party. He ran out to give his wife water while she was running in this bra. It was hillarious.

My BFF Brenna Sanderson.....

She came to support us run and not only brought her kids, but she brought mine too.

She is an amazing woman and I couldnt ask for a better friend. Thanks Brenna.

I made this shirt for her. Awesome huh???

GO CUCF PIGS!!! #177

Me and my pig ears headband. What a hottie......NOT!!!

Me and my good friend Carl Sanderson were a part of the CUCF pig team in the Ragnar Relay Valley of Fire 2009 October 9th and 10th. Just imagine....12 people, 6 in a van, running, taking turns for 30 hours and 170 miles. The run began an hour outside of Mesquite and ended at the Red Rock Casino in Las Vegas.

We were the CUCF pigs since we all worked or had spouses who worked at Central Utah Correctional Facility, The inmates all lovingly call us pigs. It seemed fitting and cute. We wore snouts, ears, tails and our CUCF pigs t-shirts. Our van had a big snout on the front of it.

It was absolutely a blast and we had so much encouragement from our team members who would wait up the road for us and cheer us on the entire way. The other teams were great too.

Cant wait to do the next Ragnar in June 2010 from Logan to Park City. Wooot Wooooot!!!
