One Week Ago

In my last post I wrote about the Wasatch Back race that my family was preparing to participate in. Well, one week ago at about this very moment my family completed the 188 mile relay race! They completed the race in under 30 hours and it sounds and looks like they had a blast!

I'm so sad that I was not able to be there to cheer them on as they ran but I have loved hearing about the race and seeing pictures from it. The original twelve members of the team were all family members, due to some last minute injuries two team members were replaced by friends. The team members on Team C.A.T.I.E. were Danny Dunn (my dad), Jamie, Andrew and Christopher Dunn (my brothers), Caroline and Elizabeth Dunn (my sisters), Jed Dunn (my cousin), Bill Oyston (my uncle), Catherine Dunn (my sister-in-law), Erin Johnson (good family friend/my "adopted" sister :-)), and two friends of my sister-in-law Marianne. I want to thank all of them and my mom, Aunt Martha, Uncle Mark, and sister-in-law Marianne (who each worked as volunteers for the team helping with various things) for their love, prayers and support and for this incredible tribute they made to me.

I love you too!
