Lake to Lake Relay 2010...Sole Sisters!
What a beautiful day! It began at 6 am with a nice alarm clock going off. After we all got ready for our first leg, we headed to the starting line. All 5 of us Sole Sisters were excited to see what the day had in store for us, since it was a first for us all. After a few turn arounds we were headed to the right place. We rolled into the starting line...hurried and colored on the van so we could claim some kind of team spirit, took a few photos and left Laura for her starting leg. We drove up ahead a mile and a half and waited to cheer on Laura! We continued to high five at the exchange points ... give support where we could with water and gatorade ...giggle...sweat ... eat yummy pasta salad ... and exchange more high fives. Each of the sisters ran two legs total and the distances varied but were pretty close to 5 miles each. We had a beautiful day in St. George (beginning temp at 40 degrees and warmest temp 65 degrees, it did start to get overcast and rain right when we were done, so hurray for us...we were outta there). We ran through all the trails and saw a lot of St. George we hadn't seen before. From Gunlock Resevoir to Sand Hollow, 50 miles total. The trails were awesome and the scenery, you just couldn't help but smile.

It was fun to share a day with the Sole Sisters! Laura a.k.a. "Gunlock & Loaded" & "Trails, Trails, and Llama Tails", Kristin a.k.a. "Red Rock & Roll" & "Expedition Virgin River", Kelli a.k.a. "Navigational Nightmare" & "That Washington Dam Hill", Anne "Dixie Stampede" & "The Dirty Climber", and Lindsay a.k.a. "Man-O-Warrior" & "Sand Finale". Everyone did great, only ached a little, and most importantly had FUN! Our team crossed the finish line in approximately 7 hours 57 minutes and 57 seconds. It went so fast for us.

After showering at the recreation center, we headed to Texas Roadhouse for some Real food! Yummy! Food always taste good after a exciting day like that. After switching drivers a few times on the road...we rolled into town and were home just in time for Sunday.
