I love the opportunity to pace this race! Today I ran in honor of my running friend, Carolyn Creer. She has been battlling breast cancer for the past year. I also run to honor Susan Lee who is a 10 year survivor of colon cancer and in memory of my brother Kevin who passed away in 2013 from brain cancer.
I helped pace a man (60ish years old) who had heart surgery a month ago. He was here from Nashville celbrating his 35th wedding anniversary. It was so fun to run with him as he looked at our beautiful Utah canyons with such awe!
I ended up coming in a little bit too soon for my pace time. It's always tricky to make sure we are coming in right on time. This race only lets one pacer per time slot so you rely on yourself. It is nice when there are two to help watch the clock and make it a little more precise.
Anyway...I love this race!
