I love Ragnars, and I love hills, but we were super nervous when we checked into our hotel and someone asked what kind of team we were - then asked who was running the mountain. Whaaaat?!? No worries, anyone who is dedicated enough to sign up for a 12 person relay

This was my first time running the Capitol Hill Classic and it was a blast. The race starts in Capitol Hill and has a very fun neighborhood feel to it - it's put on by a local school and all race proceeds go to the school. The course is relatively flat

I've now ran this marathon 4 times. It's a great race with a awesome atmosphere. The late runners could be taken care of bit better but besides that. It's awesome.
