I ran in a race this summer called the Wasatch Back Relay Race. It is 176 miles. It starts in Logan and ends in Park City. You run on a team of 12, each person runs three legs of the race. You run all day and all night until you are done. I personally ran over 16 miles total. It was in July and over 100 degrees. It was one of the hardest things I can say I have ever done but it was an amazing expierience. I learned so much about myself and how hard I could really push myself. I also gained a great appreciation for the beautiful Wasatch mountains. My favorite Hymn is For the Beauty of the Earth. My last 4 miles was a killer as I ran down hill from high above Deer Valley ski resort into downtown Park City. I honestly didn't think I would finish but as I looked around and noticed my amazing surroundings and said a little prayer for my continued health and strength, this song came into my mind and I ran without even noticing the fatigue, soreness or pain I was previously having. I felt like I was running fresh and not on the very end of a 2 day, living on gatorade and powerbars, no sleep, heat stroke filled nightmare. I will definatley never forget it an always be grateful for my health and the amazing human body and what it can endure.
