Well we made it through it! We joined in the tradition again with the Turpins in running the 40 mile relay (8 people, 5 miles each) race, "To Bone & Back" up in Idaho. We complained the whole time training, but it still ended up being a great experience! We weren't able to to train all week while in Las Vegas, but we still managed to do well running. We even ran faster than we were expecting! It sure was hard and warm though, but thanks to all the Turpins that took the later legs in the hot sun, we didn't get too hot. Amanda finished her 5 mile leg at 49 minutes and Brian did his in 46minutes. Here are a few highlights of the race:

| Candace was our starting runner! There were about 800 people total. |
