On Sunday, I had the honor of pacing my friend Lauren to her first White Rock Half Marathon finish! She's been training for the last 5 months and it was a terrific accomplishment. I am so proud of her. She ran a very even race and had enough left in the tank to pick it up the final few miles. I told her I had my eye on two ladies in front of us who were wearing very silly reindeer hats and had no business beating us. So Lauren kicked it up another notch and we passed them handily!
She ran a great race and I'll always remember the smile she had on her face as she proudly showed off her finishers medal. I feel very fortunate that she let me be a part of her first big race. And I am sure there are many more in her future.
