50 K

Well last weekend was the weekend Wesley has been training soooo hard for...the 50 K(31.2 miles on horse trails in the woods!) The Carl Touchstone 50! Friday night we went to the ole Laurel fairgrounds for a pre-race spaghetti dinner. Doc, Cheri and Aunt Lani kept the double days. Then at 4 am Wesley woke up to get ready for his 6a.m. start to the race. I got to the race about 10am in hopes to see him at his 25 mile mark...1 hour and 49 minutes later sweet hubby wobbled over the 25 mile mark. Bless his heart he hurt his knee on mile 2 and continued on for 23 miles!!! He had a little over 6 left when I saw him, but kept saying he couldn't finish. I, being the personal trainer, stretched stretched him and tried to diagnose the problem. After about 10 minutes of stretching he felt much better and took off walking for about 1/8 mile then decided to jog and after one stride was in horrible pain again. He was unable to finish his goal...but we are SOOOO proud of his 25 miles!! Less than 2 months ago he did a marathon and now another 25 miles!! Luckily we think the problem has resolved itself...with a little anti-inflammatory and ice! Go daddy go we are soooo proud!!

Bless his heart you can see the pain on his face, but he said he was running for me!
