Today is what it is all about in running! To run is amazing but to run, support, and encourage is even more grand.
Today, I got the opportunity to run 13.1 amazing miles with one of my best running friends, John Kelly. John is an incredible story considering that less than a year ago he had never made a run at a true distance race. Now he clicks of times as if he is a seasonsed veteran and all of this at the young age of 57. Today, I got the chance to pace John through the Smuttynose Half-Marathon and by no surprise he did an amazing job (1:28:33). That is a 6:43 pace, just in case you were wondering.
On top of that, I got to see two more of my very close Mystic friends, Chaz and Rich finish the Smuttynose Marathon in very impressive times. Chas in 3:53 and Rich in 4:00! On a day that was not really made for quick times, they pulled off incredible paces! Way to go guys!
Running is meant to be fun and that is what today was all about.
