Paced Lybi through miles 3-8, pushing our Adam, and Sasha and Sarah's Joseph. I got a pretty good workout, too, what with all the wind. Lybi was doing great, she slowed down a little bit with all the wind, even with my doing my best to break (I mean block - he he) the wind for her. But I can't help feeling she was looking and feeling stronger and more relaxed than I was pushing that heavy old stroller. I was sad that I had to run ahead at about mile 7.4, but Adam was really crying quite a bit (I think that his feet were cold, because he didn't have any shoes on, just socks, and the blanket that was covering him had come off his feet). So that was the first five. Drove back and picked up Sasha for him to pace Lybi through the rest of the race, then drove back to the Pachev's, dropped off Joseph and picked up Samuel and our Joseph to go back to the finish line to greet Lybi. I tried to get a couple of good shots, but none of them turned out well :( I was so darn proud of Lybi - don't let her fool you - this was a big accomplishment for her. She did a marvelous job, especially on just around 30 miles/week. Ran another mile later on with Samuel, Joseph, Julia and Sasha. Joseph did about .5 miles while Julia was dusting them with her speed, and Sam did almost an entire mile. Time to get ready for Priesthood session now . . . did I mention how proud I am of Lybi :) |
