Okay if I am in Van 1 then I would like to do leg#3 if I am in Van 2 I would really like leg #8 but I could probably handle leg #12 I am not a fan of hills because they kill me with my asthma but out of any of them with hills I could probably handle Leg #12 cuz that first leg is not to long. Okay so this is just my thoughts so let me know what you all think: We can do this 2 different ways:
This is my first suggestion:
Van #1
Leg #1-Ryan or Martin you guys decide who will run 1 or 6
Leg #2-Greg
Leg #3-Amanda
Leg #4-Jackie
Leg #5-Mindy E.
Leg #6-Martin or Ryan you guys decide who will run 1 or 6
Van #2
Leg #7-Mindy V.
Leg #8-Mickele or kelli we need to decide on who will run 8 or 12
Leg #9- Jay or shane
Leg#10-Shane or Jay
Leg#11-Janeal
Leg#12-kelli or Mickele we need to decide on who will run 8 or 12
This is my second suggestion:
Van #1
Leg #1-Shane or Martin you guys decide who will run 1 or 6
Leg #2-Mindy E.
Leg #3-Mickele
Leg #4-Mindy V.
Leg #5-Kelli
Leg #6-Martin or Shane you guys decide who will run 1 or 6.
Van #2
Leg #7-Jackie
Leg #8-Amanda
Leg #9-Jay or Ryan you guys decide who will run 9 or 10
Leg#10-Ryan or Jay you guys decide who will run 9 or 10
Leg#11-Janeal
Leg#12-Greg
Honestly I think all the guys are going to be able to run whatever leg we throw at them because they are guys and for some reason guys have it easier when it comes to running and I know once shane gets his butt in gear on running he will be fine to do any leg and same with Jay so anyways look over what I have suggested and let me know what you all think.
Jackie can you send this email on to Ryan & Amanda so they can see what they think and hopefully they will be okay with what I have suggested.
K guys I need you all to email back on this with feedback so we can get this figured out so everyone can kind of have an idea of what they should be training for. If I don't get any responses then I am just going to assume that you are all okay with what I have put down here and I will make the final decision so we can start training cuz believe me this is going to be along couple of days hehehe.
thanks

Marty says that he needs to think about it. :) Well, first of all he said, 'there is not way in hell that I can run either of those' and then he said 'well, I need to think about it'. Me, I'm easy, just tell me what I am running and I will train accordingly.
ReplyDeleteI love it! I'm good with either option! Which makes sense since in this case, either option means I'm runner #11. :)
ReplyDeleteMindy, you could always switch with Martin... although, you should remind him frequently that because of this, you are better than he is.
Mickele, if you get stuck with #12, it's not that bad, I promise! The first leg is all uphill, but you can always stop and walk if you need to and it's so beautiful; it's right up by Snow Basin.
And just for the record, I think it's very unfair that guys can just run better than us without even trying...
I LOVE that suggestion - I actually really like both of those suggestions. Regarding the van, It is perfect with us 4 Johnson's and either Jay/Janeal or Martin/Mindy. I concur - someone just respond with which vans to be in, and we can finalize!
ReplyDeleteI would rather be in van#2 option. I am not a runner so I'm not sure how well I can handle leg# 5.
ReplyDeleteHey fellow 775-ers! I'm glad we're trying to get this stuff sorted out now because it's fun to know what you're going to run. I'm open to either of Mickele's suggestions. I'll be happy with any leg, but my preference would be for leg 9. Ragnar on!
ReplyDeleteALso, I will have Ryan and Amanda look at this, but I know they are good with whatever. Amanda is a very good runner and has been running her whole life, and Ryan hasn't necessarily been a runner in the past, but he is training for running and he is very strong dude. He might be a good option to power-house some hills if need be. Mindy - tell Marty that if we go with Van Option #1, I am sure that Ryan can do the more hilly one (whichever that may be). I will make them weigh in on this blog!
ReplyDeleteHey mindy you tell Martin i have faith in him that he can run anything that just means he will have to train that much harder but if you and martin want to switch places on where I have you guys put that works for me I am up for whatever. but also tell him it is okay if he has to walk some of it I am sure most of us will end up walking at some point.
ReplyDeleteKelli whatever you so are too a runner I know you could handle Leg #5 if thats were we end up I have total faith in all of you guys and its not like we can't walk if we need to its not like we are trying to come in first place we are just doing this for fun and to get in good shape right hehehe!
Okay Kelli how about if we end up in Van #1 then you and Mindy E. can swtich places you can run Leg #2 and Mindy E. can run Leg #5 would that work?
ReplyDeleteThat last suggestion by Mickele would be great too because I think Ryan was excited to run Leg #10 (the Ragnar), and I don't think anyone else wanted it. Also, Greg wanted Leg #12, but he is amenable to what works best.
ReplyDeleteAmanda and I are fine running whatever. I am cool with running hills, down hills, flat land, dark whatever. I am not fast but I will make it to the top. As long as you dont care about how fast I can run those hills I will do whatever.
ReplyDeleteRyan, good to hear from you and Amanda!!!! Don't worry, we're not worried about speed, just as long as we don't have to carry you! :)
ReplyDeleteWell its good to know that someone is okay with running hills hehehe cuz believe me all the rest of us are crying about the hills LOL! K I will think about it alittle bit more and let all of you know what legs you will all be running in the next week or so. I am excited I think this will be alot of fun.

ReplyDeleteHa ha. I wasn't saying that I am a better runner than Martin. I AM definitely NOT! Martin could outrun me with his legs tied together. I'm just saying that I will train and hopefully be ready (fingers crossed) with whatever you throw my way (within reason).
ReplyDeleteA little FYI: Martin said that Shane was talking at work about how he REALLY REALLY REALLY wants to run the ragnar. That's just what Martin said. Oh, and at Jaxon's party every time I walked past him he whispered 'Ragnar. Ragnar. Ragnar.' Pretty sure he wants it.
Mindy, that's so funny you mention that because I could have SWORN that I heard that you were fighting for that leg. Rumor has it that hills are your specialty and that what makes you happiest is when you are running full speed straight up a mountain. And the longer the better. It's true, isn't it??? :)
