A woman who writes for the Deseret News and who also runs the Wasatch Back every year, wrote an article with a few tips for first time runners. The Wasatch Back is a 188 mile relay race from Logan to Park City. There are 12 members on my team and we’ll each run 3 times within a 24 hour period. They call each of your 3 runs “legs”. I’ll tell you more about the actual race after I run it on Friday and Saturday. This post is about one of the woman writers’ tips. She said she dedicated each of her 3 legs to a different person. She said it added to the fun of the race, because it is supposed to be fun, and it helped her push a little harder knowing she was running for someone else.
After reading the article I turned off my light, got under my covers, and instead of sleeping thought desperately about who I was going to dedicate my legs to. I have a lot of people in my family, and they inspire me on an almost hourly basis. I’ll spend the rest of my life being inspired by my family members so I decided not to choose family members. Besides, how could I pick just 3?
I want to share with everyone each of my 3 selections and a little background as to why I chose them (sorry Jenny and Mom and a few others who have already heard).To save you all from reading a novel in one sitting I’m going to post one a day for the next 3 days. So stay tuned! (This is all part of my ‘get psyched up’ plan.)

That is a GREAT idea! You got it Abby! (so wait, are you running all 3 parts, aka 188 miles? This isnt possible...)
Once again, I have to say that I love how your mind works! I can't wait to hear about your three selections and I wish you the best on the run next week!
You could just choose ONE family member. It would be easy.
Me.
Everyone else would surely understand.
Thanks for apologizing. I'm already dreading having to hear it for the second time! Another insensitive move like this one and we're through.
