Phil recently accomplished an awesome running challenge,
and I was SO PROUD of him.
and I was SO PROUD of him.
The Gasparilla Ultra Challenge consisted of 4 races over 2 days...covering 30.4 miles.
On Saturday (in 78 degrees and 100% humidity),
he ran a 15K (9.3 miles) and a 5K (3.1 miles).
On Sunday, he ran a half-marathon (13.1 miles) and a 8K (5 miles).
We hung out with him in between races, and the kids were his biggest encouragement!
He changed clothes and socks in between races,
and he finished every race with a pace of UNDER 8:00 per mile.
and he finished every race with a pace of UNDER 8:00 per mile.
He earned 4 finisher medals and a big Ultra Challenge Finisher medal and jacket.
Phil, who still doesn't consider himself a runner, was the only one in our family who completed the challenge. I love the way that Clare watches Daddy and wants to emulate his every move. I love that Phil has such a spirit of adventure and drive. I love that my husband is strong and healthy.
Way to go, Phil!
