Ragnar Relay 2011 Tennessee

The 2011 Ragnar Relay in TN!!! Hands down this was the most fun I've ever had running. It's a 196 miles from Chattanooga to Nashville. Each runner on a 12 person team runs 3 sections/legs & my total distance was just over 17 miles. I ended up running 18 because I took a wrong turn off the course in Nashville. Luckily I had a map in my pocket & got back on track. Our team finished the 196 miles right at 31 hours.

Big thanks to my teammates!

I ran cross country in high school. I miss it so much, unfortunately I am in no shape to run any time soon. I keep trying to diet and loose weight but I keep falling off the wagon. In the mean time I will just live vicariously through you sir. Keep up the good work! P.S.- The fall colors must have been beautiful. Couldn't have picked a better time to do this!

@ReliantJustUsProject Well if it helps to light a fire, one the guys on our team dropped 70 in 8 months by running. He started out by running 1 mile having never run before. On our relay team he ran 18!

The fall colors were indeed beautiful. Thanks for the support brother

Wow, that was a cool video. I'm not much of a runner but that sort of event makes me want to get training!

[CampfireTalk]

@conleytgn Yeah man that event really made running "fun" : ) I know that may sound odd because I don't normally think of running as fun, but doing it as a team & having a big goal made it worth it.

Just catching up on watching vids . . . what a great adventure to share with all of us. Beth is a runner and I have been sharing these and your PMs with her. Congratulations to you and your team . . . absolutely beautiful country!

@USNERDOC Thanks DOC, we had a little fall color left while doing this run & it made it all the more memorable. Tell Beth to get down here next year we could use her on the team.

Nice work, buddy. I just sat and watched this with Mrs. Scout, and we both loved it! She especially liked the reflective vest, since she runs with one. Great scenery too. Also very cool that the team was co-ed.

I don't know how I missed this vid. AWESOME!!!!! What a great run. I commend you my friend, it is hard to run, great job.

[USNERDOC]

@CampfireTalk - she would love running in that part of the country! Great talking with you today ;-)

Don't run but have been to Chattanooga TN and Nashville TN. Love Lookout Mountain and that whole area. Also love Nashville and the Country Music Hall of Fame and all the attractions there. Two great areas among many in TN. Looks like ya'll had a great time.
