Troy, Anna, Ariel and I pray for the race. Whatever happens is in His hands and we know that is most important. I toe the line with Dave & Rachel, college-roomie, Leonie Alesci, and son, Reid, and former Davis High athlete, that I coached, Justin Morejohn, and son, Jeshua. The new course looks to be better scenery and longer stretches which is good when pushing a stroller.
Ready, set, go! It's on! Justin takes off with the leader and Dave and I stick together. Within the first 1/4 mile, I notice that my watch is going nuts and saying I'm running 13 minute pace...yeah right! Well, I'm just going to have to go by feel and hang close to Dave. Dave asks me what pace we are doing and I tell him I'm not sure because of my crazy watch. I hope I'll have some information by the first mile.
Ariel is doing great and is content all bundled up in her snow gear. I hope this doesn't change. Dave's son-in-law, Josh, is also racing but his little Isabella is crying. Her dad has to slow down to figure out the problem.
Mile 1: 6:30. Dave gives me our split. Good start! It looks like my watch is working



I can see the finish now! I cannot go any faster and I'm just trying to survive. As I get closer, I see that I can still make it under 20:23! I dig down! Mile 3 is 6:41! Ugh!! I cross the line at 20:12. Yeah! THANK YOU, JESUS!!
I can hardly breathe and sit down to catch my breath. I congratulate Dave on his 1st place finish in his age group and 5th overall. I see Justin too and congratulate him on his 1st place in his age group and 2nd overall. Leonie soon comes and her and Reid have a great finish...2nd Mommy overall!! Yeah! What a great day! Now time to watch Troy, the girls and Reid race!
Go Dave and Leonie!
Darn Dave! He, he!
