I guess this was part of my last long run, the day before when the other girls did 8 miles, Bryant and I only did 5, we both wanted to save some energy for this race. Actually we were both being kind of lazy and decided that between the two runs we'd be over the 8 and that seemed good! Kanab KTX trail run is awesome! I love it!
I love that he loves to run with me. Well I should say I love that he has the same running addiction as me! We start together and he waits for me at the end. Most races he starts back through the course to find me and cheer me on. I love that! I am a pretty lucky gal!
It was FREEZING at the start line this year!
Amanda ran the 10k too, but I didn't see her only at the very beginning!
Such a beautiful place to run! I really like this race. I decided that I wouldn't push myself too hard, since the marathon was next week and all. I loved it. I love running and just enjoying!
Bryant kicked butt and totally ran it in 43 minutes. He beat the course record by 2 seconds and won it all! Super proud of him!
April ran the 5k with her family. We went back up to the park to listen to the Grand to Grand runners and met up with April. Those Grand to Grand people are amazing! After seeing them and listening to them I really started considering maybe wanting to do it sometime.
Because what if I ran it and could look like this guy? That would be awesome!
Other then seeing Julie Jensen and getting to hug her, having this guy talk to my kids about running was probably the best part of the day. He actually came up to Bryant and the kids and said, I want to share with you my pack and tell you what it takes to run this. He shared what preparations he had made to make his feet strong. He actually soaked his feet in dog pad stuff to make them tough. He also told them that running wasn't just running it was a gateway to adventures. He has ran the Great Wall of China, the Sahara Desert, the North Pole and many other amazing places. My kids were enthralled! I loved it! He told them to keep running!
Julie's story about having to deal with injury during her G2G experience was very motivational to me and I admire her for continuing on even when she was hurt. She is an amazing person.
