Dougs boss decided to put a team together to run in the Wasatch Back Ragnar Relay competition! And Doug was asked to join them! This is a race that goes from Logan to Park City, 188 miles of fun! Your team consists of 12 people each person running several miles over a two day (or how ever long it takes you) period. The races motto is Run. Drive. Sleep?Repeat.
Hear is the Presidio half of the team all geared up and ready to run!!!!
Although Doug has never really ran before in his life, he did great for his team. In case you did not read that with enough animosity in your voice I will tell you that although I am proud of him it really ticked me off that he just decided to run one day and off he goes pumping out a 8 minute mile. Men.... it just is not fair!

Look at that form!!!! I am sure that as soon as Doug sees I have blogged about this he will try to delete it so I hope someone gets to see this!!!!!
The last few legs of the race they really were trying anything they could to keep motivated. However, is does not look like this bag of cookies is what Matt wants, maybe they should have tried good old Gatorade!!!
Here they are "trying" to sleep while the other van is running. But Doug said there was too much excitement and way to many people to get any sleep!
Doug in the van waiting for his turn. This leg of the race he had to run at 1:00 in the morning!
There team finished 145th out of 436 teams not bad!!!!

That is amazing! When I heard he was doing this, I couldn't believe it because I had never heard him talk about running. Who just starts running one day? Only a man. That is awesome that they got 145th, congrats!!!!!
Way to go Doug! I was thinking of doing a 5K, but I have been working toward it. I wish I could just wake up one day and go out and run it. Not fair!
DOUG-YOU ARE MY HERO!
