We're Fat Kids at Heart......But We ARE Training!

The Denneys are fat kids at heart.  We ran from our house to Bajio, picked up our dinner, and ran home.  Total mileage: 2.8 miles.  Running to get fast food is better than driving right?!?
It was 6:30pm, dead hot, and we were pushing the lil' man as well.  And after just 2.8 miles, this is how we felt.  Did we mention the run back is a steady uphill?  Cut us some slack. 

All joking aside, we ran 4.5 miles Saturday (remember, Owen is training with us), Kristy ran 4 mi yesterday, and we plan to get a couple more short ones in before a longer one on Saturday!

How is everyone else doing?  Let's get a TEAM run together soon!!!

Basic Race Information

Hello Fugitives,

Here is the link to the Ragnar Las Vegas home page. It would be a good idea to get acquainted with what is going on over there. Training Timelines for intermediate runners and for beginning runners can be found there, Runner Distances for the race are there. It's a good idea to know the hardest runs we have to run and the easiest to give yourself a good idea of how it's going to be during the race. Keep those runs in mind while you train.

There are also links for race day checklists and the ALL INCLUSIVE RACE BIBLE.

We are going to decide on cars assignments and running legs when we get a lot closer to race day so no need to worry about that right now. Everyone just train how you feel comfortable and it'll all take care of itself.
