On Saturday while I was at the craft show, my 26 year old son was competing in the Imogene Pass Run. I talked about in a previous post. You can read about it here.
Matt really had every intention of training long and hard for this grueling race, but ended up only running a few times to try to prepare. He took a 5 week road trip this summer and then with work and everything else he does...he just didn't train.
I waited patiently for his call on Saturday. His goal was to finish in four hours. I couldn't do it in four days!!
Well,the call came and he finished in 3:22:43. He was 24th out of 88 in his 25-29 age group, and I think he said he was 171st out of the 1200 runners that finished! Not bad for someone that didn't train. I was looking at the race results and there is a 70+ category! WOW!
Congratulations Matt on a great job. I'm proud of you.
