Ry and I paced our friend, Ben, for the last 6.2 miles of the SOJO marathon today. It was so much fun!!! Ben thought that he was going to be running roughly an 8:20 pace during those miles. Nope ... he was on fire!!! He ran those last miles at roughly a 7:40 average finishing in 3:23:52!! It was AWESOME!!! He did not get passed by one single person (well, one girl momentarily passed but he passed her back up) during those miles. He was focused! :) We waited around at the finish line for a bit to see the awards. Well, I was too short to actually see them but I did hear the names of: Andrea, Allie and Jake!!!!!! WOOT WOOT!!!!! Also, it was cool to talk to Chad and hear that he improved his marathon PR by one minute. Congrats to them all!!! :) Side note: It was also super fun to see several of the runners donning the KT Tape job I did for them at packet pick-up. Not sure why I found such satisfaction in that but I did. I really do have an enjoyable life. :) |
