I ran the Utah County marathon as Craig's #1 fan. I didn't really plan on running the whole thing, but when they let me on the bus (despite not being signed up for the race) I determined to stick with Craig and be his motivator. We ran a nice pace the 1st half and we had fun visiting. We did 8's and 9's. Then we hit 13 and slowed a little. I left my cell phone in the port a pot at mile 14 and had to go back to get it! That was crappy:) That mile took me an extra 5-6 minutes at least! But I caught him at around 16 and he was starting to struggle. He had been favoring his swollen ankle and that resulted in some serious quad pain. He was discouraged, and a little mad so I was trying to motivate him and get his mind off the pain. Well, he hated people passing him at that point so I flipped this guy off that passed us (discreetly)...it made Craig laugh and smile, so I guess I did my job! We slowed down quite a bit the last 1/2, but I enjoyed myself. Craig was hurting and discouraged with his time, but I was proud of him. He did awesome considering his obstacles. We finished in 4 hrs 26 min. I didn't cross the finish line...I ran to get the camera in the car. It doesn't really count as a marathon for me, just a really really really long run:) Great job Craig, Amber, Travis, Annaca, Ally, Laura, Bob!!! You all did awesome! |
