Saturday - Sept. 29

Akron Marathon
 - part of the Team Bracken, Trample ALS team
 - Steve was diagnosed in 2012 with ALS and they needed support.  An all female team was doing the pushing, I was there to lift and help Steve when he needed to use the bathroom or get up to stretch.
 - 26.80 miles
 - 5:08:56
 - 11:31 pace
 - 848 ft. of elevation

These girls were running fast.  That 11:31 pace included all our stoppage time.  When the chair was moving, our splits were around 10 minute pace and hit 8 minute pace routinely on the downhills.  I guess that is what you get when most of these women are Boston Marathon qualifiers.  I could have used much better run training leading into this, but was very happy to complete it on the banked fitness of earlier this year.
