Met Walter in Riverton early this morning and we ran 7.6 miles. I felt almost 100% today but resisted the urge to do anything stupid. It was really nice to have some company.
After we got done I headed up to Liberty park and was able to cheer on Andrea, Skip, Billy, Janae, & Rachel. Everyone was looking great and I handed out gatorade and water to random people that needed it. After seeing all of the familiar faces I headed to mile 16 of the marathon to volunteer at the aid station. I was afraid I would miss Allie but managed to get there about 2 minute before she ran in (thank you SLC motorcycle escort). She looked strong and I feel bad I wasn't able to run with her at all. I stayed at the aid station clear until 11:15am when the last marathon came in. It was definitely a cool experience and I have a great respect for those that run 5+ hour marathons. There perserverence is incredible and it was fun to feel like I was giving back to the running community that has given so so much to me.
Major Congrats to all the FRB group that performed so well today!!
PM: way to nice of a day to sit inside so I had to take the pup out for an easy 3 miles. 9+ pace. |
