When I asked Scott if he was going to do his annual 5K this year, his response was that he wanted to try a 10K. This meant he had to run more than 3 times before the race. He actually semi-trained for about 2 months. And it payed off. He did amazing! I was supposed to sign up with him to push him, but instead he pushed me. I developed an injury about a month before the race and thought I'd recovery in time. Only problem was I couldn't run on it if I wanted it to heal. I tried running twice but it hurt and I didn't want to make it worse. Long story short, I ran with him and at mile 4 the pain was back with a vengeance and at mile 5, my Achilles locked up changing my whole running form to where I was pretty much spent. I kept telling Scott to go and finish and finally the last stretch he did. He beat me by 5 seconds!!!! He finished in 45:23. I am so proud of my little runner husband. Who hardly trains and does AWESOME!!!! Well done Scott! Next race.....a half! ;-)
