Today I got to push my good friend, Elsha in her 101st race! It was a beautiful morning and quite a nice course to push her. I like that there was not a lot of down hill...or up hill! I liked the gentle downhill slope of most of it. Pushing up or pulling back on the chair for downhill is hard on the shoulders and neck.
Since I ran SGM 2 weeks ago and had some knee trouble the last 6 miles I wasn't quite sure what to expect today. I would have been happy with 2:30. But I surprised myself and came in just over 2;10. The last few miles on the Jordan Parkway Trail were probably the hardest. I didn't love the windy trail...it is hard to steer the chair back and forth. But I was very happy with the whole thing!
I definitely love being with Elsha and both of her parents. What amazing people they all are!
