COUNTRY MUSIC MARATHON 2010

Today was a good day. I told Jayden I would pace him the first half of the marathon. The weather held out as I ran from my house down to the start. Thanks to Robbie, he texted and told me the race was starting 15 minutes earlier..6:45am instead of 7am. Strange move by the race directors I thought. Believed it messed with a lot of runners who did not know this information. Anyway, Jonathan meet us there too and we were off. As Jayden stated: " this is like a running circus" as I have never ran this event. I guess officially I still haven't as I was not registered but had a bib number from Jayden.

Goals: Jayden wanted a 3:10 for the marathon
Jonathan wanted a pr for the 1/2

Results: Jayden came in under 3:15
Jonathan ran a 1:29 for a PR!!!

It was super fun and lots of people on the course to cheer the runners on. A lot of my training partners/friends had great races too!!! Plus it didn't rain , at least on me, until after I had left the course.

Got this quote from jayden after the race "I can't thank you enough for running with me, such a relaxed first half. Not enough praise for you running with me. That my friend was just badass..
300 style. Thank You.

Well Jayden, I should thank you for asking me to run with you and experience a race I never thought of doing!!!
