I had some friends running the AF half so I decided I would run with them for a bit. I started at the finish line and ran up to the aid station at the mouth of the canyon. As I was getting close I saw the first runners come through. I saw Scott, who looked real good flying down the course, and I saw all the others cruising down.  I ran a short distance with Tristram Jones and he was cruising as well. I went back up and then ran back down with my friend and his son. Kevin, my friend, is a 2 -time cancer survivor and was running for that purpose. He brother had recently passed away from cancer as well.  It was an emotional run. They ran stellar. They finished in 1:47. I was so excited to see them and run with them.
