Hood to Coast 2009

On August 28th & 29th, I did something that I never thought I would do in my life!! I ran Hood to Coast!! I ran with friends from Baby Boot Camp, and it was a blast! I ran a total of about 18 miles, ate only power bars and peanut butter sandwiches, and got about an hour of sleep! It was difficult, but I'm so glad that I did it!hood to coast 2009 001

On Friday morning, I got up at 3:45am to meet in Ridgefield at 4:45am, so we could drive up to Timberline in time for our 7:30am start time!

Our first runner, Krysta, takes off down the mountain! The first leg descends about 2000 feet.

Taking off for my first leg. This leg was about 7 1/2 miles through Sandy! It was about 85 degrees and not easy!

Our van always tried to stop as each person was running their leg to give water. It was so greatly appreciated!
