Ran about a mile around cross country course to cheer Alex on at difft points. In my pep talk before the race, I told him I wanted him to dig deep and run a fast time to inspire me for my marathon this weekend. He just smiled and said 'ok'. He proceeded to go out and run another pr ... 18:52! Mile 1was 6:00, 2 was 6:12. Race finished with 350 meters on track, so i had measured off 50 meters, so I could give him a split with 400 meters to go, he hit this point at 17:35, so I yelled to him he had a sub 19in him, & to take it home strong! He ran the last 400 meters in 77 seconds, a 5:08 pace! Wow, I was proud, i guess we will officially be racing each other at a 5k in 2weeks. He may think he has me beat ... but I will throw surges at him and try to beat him mentally ... as I think that is the only chance I have! As we said goodbye after the race, he looked at me and said, "I held up my end of the deal, I expect you to go sub 3, good luck Dad!" |
