What if...

So a couple of my friends posted things about "If I Was..." I loved it and I am eventually going to do it too, but it got me thinking about other what ifs that are all around.

What if... it never rained, would we appreciate the warmth of the sun?

What if... we were never sad, would we ever know true happiness?

What if... we never lost a loved one, would we cherish the time we have with them?

What if... we were given everything. would we learn the value of working for what we want?

What if... we never went anywhere, would we develop the Spirit of Adventure?

What if... we were always afraid to fall, would we ever learn to soar?

What if... we never spoke our minds, would we ever be independent thinkers?

What if... we never left our circle of friends, would we ever discover the joy of new friendships?

What if... that one person never broke our heart, would we recognize true love?

Sawtooth

This weekend I got the chance to see my sister run in the Sawtooth Relay. It was really fun. I felt like I was in a car for three days straight though. Sawtooth is a 62 mile, 6 person relay and each person runs two legs. It was awesome to be a part of. :) My sister's team is named the Marauding Monkeys. Those six people were amazing. This year the team consisted of Claudia (my sister), Brice (my sisters friend and returning monkey), Danny (again friend and returning monkey), Liz (my sisters assistant track coach and first time monkey), Rusty (head cross country coach and first time monkey), and Launa (first time monkey). There was also Seth (the monkey gone mad). Seth decided that he was going to run it on his own this year. They are all amazing. I was so inspired by these awesome people. Now, like I said before, I am not a runner, but watching these crazy, determined people I was so moved that I have decided that next year I am going to run Sawtooth so, my training starts today. Slow and steady wins the race right, so that is how my training starts. Slow....
