Leg 25: 4:20 AM and cold. Set off wanting to take it easy. Very little sleep takes a lot out of you. I just wanted to cruise and let my body tell me what to do. It was an easy run and I felt fine. I had more on than what I should have so I was warmer than needed. Finished strong. Was odd to see so few runners running at that time. (4.9 Miles, 7:20 pace) Ragnar Hill: I wasn't planning on running any more after my last run but I felt impressed to get out and run with the girls who were running the toughest hill on the course. They were so determined to finish this run, they just needed the encouragement coming from someone the whole way instead of in the van while driving. I ran/walked with them and they pushed themselves to the limit. What a couple of driven women who have hearts as strong as lions. Both instances I let them start things out and then after a bit I jumped out and ran with them the rest of the way trying to help them as mush as I could by talking, teaching, and encouraging. I was more impressed this day than many other days and love to see someone give it their all. They each conquered a huge feat today. (5.6 miles, 2800 feet in climbing). |
