It was my friends very first marathon and she is an amazing runner at one point at about mile 16 she was 2nd female out. Cramping caused her to slow way down.
I got out of the car gave her the magic (electrolytes, etc) and ran the rest of the marathon with her. It was an amazing experience for me. To watch someone so strong break down then get back up again just because someone was willing to talk them through it. This happened to me at Capital City Marathon 2010. I will never forget that man who pushed me through the finish line to qualify for Boston.
I love running because of the people we get to know even if it just for a race.
Today was life changing day for me.
My awesome daughter Haley on the right, ran her second half marathon at Yukon today and came in 1st place in her age division. Haley is an incredible runner, daughter and person. I am so blessed to have her in my life. Haley came in so fast at the end we missed her big finish!!! We call her "Haley the Comet"
