6 miles in 7:45 pace Finally got to my run at 6:30 p.m. after the race day hoopla with Aaron in the Steamboat 50. This morning after breakfast the kids and I went to the mile 22 aid station and hung out from 9:30-10:45 a.m. to cheer and take pictures of Aaron and his friend, Danny. They came through around 10:30 a.m. looking energetic and said they were feeling great, so we headed back to our condo. As I was driving back to the condo, I got a text from Allie telling me about her awesome 2:51:15 in TOU and I screamed for joy for her. GO ALLIE!!!! Then I took the kids swimming for a few hours at the condo pool and at 2 p.m. we all took naps. When I woke up at 4 p.m. I saw a text message on my phone from Aaron telling me he decided to stop at mile 32 after 4 miles of limp running due to a super tight left glut/hip. By the time I got his text and woke up the kids to head over to the race finish, Aaron had walked home, so he took a quick shower and we all went to to finish together to cheer Danny in. It was a fun, relaxing day for me. Kind-of a bummer that Aaron had issues with his hip but I think he made the right decision to pull out and not injure himself more.
