Race: Riverton Half Marathon (pacer) (13.1 Miles) 01:56:47

Foot a huge problem. Drove up with Rachelle. Warmed up four miles-- last mile felt like I was jogging and was a 7:25. Wore my trail shoes to slow me down as a pacer for the half marathon at 2 hours. I couldn't do that pace with my pain. I decided to be the in between pacer at 1:57. I even acted as the "transport" pacer for a few runners-- taking them from the 2:00 pace to the 1:55 pacer. When I got there I then "transported" a first timer from the 1:55 pacer to almost the 1:50 pacer (1:51:31). I let her go at 100 feet before the finish. I went back and pick up the 1:57 runners and got them all in under 1:57. I really need to be the pacer for 1:35 to 1:40. Sorry Walter. Don't fire me. Foot hurt a lot the whole run. I tried to focus on the people I was pacing. Boston will not be very fun with this pain but at least I know I can run it. I think that I will be dropping back to Rachelle's wave (wave 2) and run her in at 3:20 to 3:23 like she wants : D. If she is with me I can't think of my pain. Ran 1 mile cooldown after race which foot was really not happy about. Got home, watched my daughter's soccer game then watched afternoon conference. So glad I got to listen to Elder Holland's talk :D.

I loved Elder Holland's talk too. Sorry about the pain Julie, but I'm glad you were able to make things work today - I'm sure those people really appreciated all you did for them.

I seriously am in awe of your pain tolerance. It is off the charts. As always, I loved seeing you and chatting for a bit. :)

i'm sorry you are in pain, julie. not fun at all. your pain threshold is really unbelievable though! you are a trooper for still going out there and pacing today. i really hope it calms down soon -- hoping for pain free days ahead!

I'm glad you'll be able to run Boston, but I'm sorry about the pain. It stinks.

If you end up running w/ Rachelle - you can "transport" her up to 3:15 b/c I think she's going to blow 3:20 away.

So cool! It sounds like you were a great pacer to help people push themselves. How do you become a pacer?

From JulieC on Sun, Apr 01, 2012 at 16:28:06 from 67.41.188.67

Tara--- I found out about pacing thru Rachelle and then I happened to be on facebook when one of the pacers couldn't pace due to the flu and Walter was looking for a replacement. Walter made some comment that Michael Jordan still played in the play offs with a fever to the pacer but he still was like no way. And I was like "yes way" I will run and show this PF who is boss. Although PF seems to be winning the battle currently. How in the heck can I restrain myself??? Lock and key to a boot on my leg is the only way to stop me. Remember my comment about my ankle falling off? well...my foot was the only limb listening to that comment.

From Rachelle on Mon, Apr 02, 2012 at 09:41:46 from 159.212.71.77

Julie I think you did a great job of helping people reach there goals and I'm sure they really appreciated it. It was fun to spend some time with you on Saturday and I hope your dang foot is feeling better today.

I totally agree with Teena - you are seriously one tough cookie to run through that pain!
