AM: Thought I would write something positive for once. Was fortunate to get me and the boys up this morning and make it out to Hobbler Half Marathon. Had some buddies running and thought we could give some support. We showed up at the 9 mile mark and waited for the buddies. Nate Jewks came by in first and gave me and the boys a high five. Very talented runner and looked like he was out for a stroll. Matt and Justin were next and looked great. Had some gu and gatorade ready and it was fun to see them in cruise mode. Mike gave me a thumbs down as he was next with Dave Taylor a little further behind. Mike had GI issues and said he was just going to do MP the rest of the way. Still looked great great for the day. Went to the 11 mile marker and met everyone again there for more gatorade and encouragement. It was fun to drive the course while these guys were in the zone. Had no idea Toni "The Tongan Tornado" was racing this morning Very fun to see how they fought through the pain and made it happen. I was probably pretty annoying with my yelling and coaching but that is me... The boys and I ran all over the last part of the course and then some laps after the race was done. Great experience for me and the boys... |
