I really have to tip my hat to Jake and Andrea for their efforts this morning. They have been so generous to give us all such an intimate view of what they have gone through this year as both runners and a couple. They have really been an inspiration to me and though they did not make their time goals I believe the overall experience has touched so many people in such a profound way that this in itself is a great accomplishment. I like Jake's quote from his race report. "If you want to achieve great things in life, you have to push it
to the edge, and sometimes that means you will fall short of
expectations, especially when they are very high." In any case I read their reports last night before my run and again this morning... Thank you for sharing this whole process... My day was family until about 8:30pm then a quick run to Memory Grove and lab work until 11pm... Avg. 8:06 HR 142 Ascent 921 ft Descent 1134 ft
