The family that runs together, stays together

(team Big Kahunas plus supporters)

So there is a relay race called Ragnar (named for a Nordic god.)  There are different Ragnar relays in various parts of the country but for all the concept is the same - with a team of 12 you run 36 legs (so 3 legs per person) that total about 200 miles.  This is the third Ragnar I have done with my family.  This time we ran the So Cal relay from Huntington Beach to Coronado.  It was beautiful, tough, an intense workout but most of all fun!  I ran a total of about 20 miles sometime during the 35 hours it took us to complete the race.  Yes we maybe crazy but that how our fam rolls...

PB & J

Happy National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day!  (are you noticing a trend on my blog?  I really like to celebrate random food holidays!)  How can you not love a day like this?  The PB & J sandwich is a classic.  I think I had one of these every school day for lunch from probably 1st grade until 8th grade.  I got a little tired of it but after a brief hiatus I enjoy this sandwich more than ever.  It's still a great lunch when you're pressed for time and still works for all ages.  I now enjoy my sandwich on yummy whole grain bread, with walnut butter and sometimes I even mix it up and swap out jelly for honey!

Enjoy a yummy PB and J today!  You all know what I'll be having for lunch ;)

p.s. this also can open up the debate between crunchy and creamy peanut butter.  I'm Switzerland and am neutral and like 'em both.  Ok, if I haaad to pick then it would be crunchy!
