This year Dustin and I, along with 6 of our friends, ran a 40 mile relay race. Each team member ran 5 miles. The course begins in Idaho Falls, with the 20 mile point ending in a town called Bone, then turning around and running the same course back to Idaho Falls. Hence the name "To Bone and Back".
5 out of the 8 team members of Ocho Stinko.
Christine, Me, Dustin, Lucy, Adam
Our girls were not fully awake at 7:30am. Luckily we took them over to their cousins house after I began the race so they could play.
I had two goals: run the entire 5 miles and run it under one hour. I ran leg 1 in 58:12! This was the first time I've ran 5 miles consecutively.
Dustin ran leg 2 which is the hardest leg since it's all up hill. He ran his stretch in 50 minutes!
Team members use a plastic bone for the baton.
Lucy ran leg 3 in under one hour.
Adam ran leg 4 in 43 minutes!
Kat ran leg 5 which is the turn around point.
Back to Idaho Falls we go! She ran her stretch in about 50 minutes.
Des ran leg 6 in 55:55!
The scenery was beautiful and we couldn't have asked for better weather.
Jaime ran leg 7 in 48 minutes! Leg 7 is actually leg 2, but backwards, so her 5 miles stretch was all down hill.
Christine was our awesome runner on leg 8. She finished in 43 minutes!
Team Ocho Stinko ran 40 miles in 6:56:36.
After the race, runners and their families enjoyed free hot dogs and ice cream.
The girls got butterflies painted on their faces.
They enjoyed the bounce house too.

Way to go! That's awesome!
How fun Meg! I love that you and Dustin enjoy doing the same things together!
Nice job!!! I can't even imagine running 5 miles in one stretch. And I love the picture of Lainey strangling Libby.
