@liq.lifts: Prairie Fire Full Marathon🏃🏾♂️ I did not get my goal of sub 9 minute pace, but I wasn’t far from it. And I did finish! That’s the biggest accomplishment I could’ve asked for. The switch in energy going from mile 12-14 was fast. Less excitement, less faces. The race had just begun. I was warned about hitting “a wall” by Matt the day before. And I definitely knew when I hit it at mile 19. It got really dark during that time, and I played lots of gospel music for the next few miles. But when I saw my kids and my wife’s family all there waiting to support me before I hit mile 22, I broke down and cried. But I knew I still had a little more ways to go. Big shoutout to Cole and Blake who was waiting for me shortly after mile 25 to help support me to the finish. I needed that more than ever. Huge shoutout to my wife who followed Devin and I around the city for those 26 miles, and was ready for us for anything we needed. And a huge thank you to my guy Devin who ran and suffered the majority of those miles right by my side. We did something HARD brother, and I’m very proud of you! Cheers to our first marathon! Thank you for an incredible event Prairie Fire! • • • #run #marathonprep #strava #explore
