About a year ago Alan began running at the gym.
Immediately I knew he was faster and better than me at it.
I claim its his long legs.
On a whim he decided to run the half marathon. I was supportive but unsure. He hadn’t ever ran more than 7 miles and I hear people train a lot for this type of thing.
He did great. We went to the finish line to cheer him on.
About 15 minutes before he came in we saw a man run around the corner and just crash into the barriers on the side. He got up and ran full tilt only to fall again and again. Eventually two other runners got on his sides and ran him to the finish!
Jacob was an amazing “cheerleader”. He yelled for every single runner. “Finish it” Finish it” Until Lindsey told him it sounded like a swear word.
We almost missed him when he ran by us really fast!
He did really great and made his goal which was to run the entire race! Good Job Alan!

I say he had a bit of an advantage due to those long legs!! Awesome that he did it!

That is such a great accomplishment! I am not a runner, and people who are always amaze me.
