H2C 2011

I kinda skipped over one of my most favorite things to hate all year...Hood to Coast! Every year I think I am not going to do it again, and then every year I jump at the chance to go again! I actually compared in to child birth...the training (being prego) kinda stinks and sometimes you just want to give up. The actual event totally sucks, but after you are done you are so happy and forget about the pain five minutes later. Soon afterwards you are thinking I could do that again. See the analogy?

I think the thing that draw me back every year is the beach. We all get to stay at Camp Corrado when we are done, while sharing all our crazy adventures and enjoying some of the best food ever!! Sometimes I wonder what hurts more, my legs from running or my stomach from laughing so hard? I am sure I will do it again next year, and like I say every year...hopefully I will start training earlier than Aug 1. I am happy to say I have continued to run after H2C this year, which has never happened before.

I did not take very many pics, but here are some of them:

My van got to experience all the luxuries the Lanphere Employee shuttle has to offer...let me tell you, it is way better than a U Haul van with no windows!

U Haul Van...not as nice!

Enjoying some tasty road sodas!

The ladies of Van 2!

Andrew before his night run...it is so dusty that most runners wear these bandannas so they can breathe.

Ahhh all done! Nick runs on a different team than me, but we got to meet up at the finish line!

As much as I hate to admit it, I am looking forward to next year!!
