14.2 miles on the Wahsatch Steeplechase course (except for the little section that we got lost on) with my Ry. Felt even more difficult than last time!!!! Hoping that is a byproduct of the marathon 6 days prior. Starting to wonder if I have any business running this race!! It'll be a challenge for sure. :) Finally finished our run and headed to Moochie's for a yummy sandwich when we got word that my hero (my grandpa) had just passed. He had become suddenly ill a few days prior. Our family had made arrangements to head to Richfield the next day after the kids' track meet. There is a giant hole in my heart that I don't know how to deal with. I have been asked to speak at the funeral this Thursday. Each time I sit down to write I cannot stop crying. Can hardly believe how lucky I am to be his grand-daughter. Until I see you again, Grandpa. Peace. I love you the mostest. |
