Ragnar Relay :: Race Report - Volume 1
A few weeks ago my friend Dawn asked me if I would be interested in joining her Ragnar Relay team. Someone was injured and they needed another runner.

He spent two days in the hospital and has been ordered to stay off of his leg. The doctor told him that his knee is screwed. We go back to see him on Friday and sometime soon there will be ACL reconstruction surgery.Mr. H's injury has meant that the the work around the house we
