im pretty sure i just had the most fun, exhausting, painful, endearing trip ever! this was my first ragnar and it was an amazing experience. first, the company was so fun. i laughed a lot more than i am used to, i got in some good girl time , got some good beauty tips, got to know new people, and got to know the other girls better. second, the scenery was amazing. we started in ventura and ended up in dana point. my favorite cities were calabasas and la/hollywood. we got lost in west la on a friday night and that was an interesting experience. i will just say that i saw things that i have never seen before in my life. my other favorite part was crossing the finish line on the beach in the sand. so fun! third, my shin splints hurt SO bad the entire time. every step i took during my 15 miles was limped. im pretty sure during my runs i was telling myself that my leg didn't hurt and that i just needed to land on my heel and slowly take a step. it never helped. my runs were painful, but i still enjoyed them so much. i guess the scenery just over takes the pain.
highlights include:
6 hours of sleep over 2 days
ridiculous amounts of donut shops
stomach aches by all
108 u-turns
the "aviators" van
being the tour guide
getting a chocolate donut thrown at me
getting in a fight with a rich old lady
sharing a queen bed with 2 other girls
bike riding
and
witnessing a gay bar
until next year.....

When you leave your house tomorrow, I will be hiding in your bushes waiting to throw a donut at you. Then I will depants you again. Woooo!
Oh Jill- I am so glad you were on the team this year. thanks for all your navigating and driving. You did awesome running, no one would have ever known you had shin splints by watching you. You did so so great!
What? I need to call and hear more about this cause it sounds interesting! Im proud of you for doing this run, wish i had the guts to do it!
oh how fun Jillian. I'm getting a little jealous with all the fun girl time you had with such a fun group!! Good job on the running with shin splints.
gosh girl you are always doing these fun, yet painful things without me! i think that i was just jealous that i wasn't one of those other girls laughing my head off with you. you are so hilarious!
I too am jealous! I want to be included in the next Ragnar you do. I will even fly over from Chicago! That looked like so much fun. I am so proud of you Jill! And why the heck did you get shin splints right before the race?... That is terrible!
