Three years ago I ran my first relay race, Red Rock Relay Zion, with Team Herriman Hotties. I was already in the middle of my weight loss journey but I was struggling with losing weight, I didn't know I had PCOS or Insulin Resistance at the time but I was eating right and exercising all the time.
This wonderful group of Women let me be part of this amazing team, they loved and accepted me how I was and cheered me on, every step of the way. I was runner # 4 with a total of 18.5 miles to complete over 3 runs in 24 hours time. I had the best time running with these women in this beautiful relay race across Southern Utah that started at Brian Head Ski Resort and Finished at Zion's National Park.
Herriman Hotties has had several different runners over the years due to people needing to drop off the team for various reasons. In total, there are 21 Herriman Hottie Alumni, and we all have a very strong bond. I love each of these women, they all inspire me, motivate me and make me want to be a better person.
I want to say a big thank you to my team, the Herriman Hotties, the Red Rock Relay Peeps, and all the teams that participate in the RRR every year. You have all been so kind and supportive and even though I was 100 pounds heavier, I never was treated differently than any other Athlete. Thank you....
I ran the same legs every year and would love to share my time improvements over the years. The legs changed slightly but the mileage always ended being close to the same:

I am so happy that I was able to improve by so much, even just from last year to this year, 18 minutes off my first leg and 8 minutes off my last! Anything is possible if you set your mind out to do something, start saying you can and you will!
Thanks for reading and thanks for the support!
