While pacing for the 3:10 group, MK discovers more about life than just racing marathons. So much love and gratitude to everyone who said hello at the OC Marathon. Thank you so much for watching and for helping make MK's OC Marathon experience so special.
A huge shout out to Justin, who is an amazing athlete, 2 years my senior, the best pacer partner, and truly a role model. Much love to our pace group members, John, Moses, Susie, Richard, Grant, and all of the other athletes who were following behind to make the pass in the final miles or hanging on for PBs or outstanding finishes.
And thank you, Floris @FlorisGierman, for your friendship and guidance. I'm starting to find my voice.
Look out for a special announcement of MK's spring goal!
One thing I forgot to mention about the OC Running Festival - All of the Orange County elementary schools participate in Kids Run the OC, in which each school manages a weekly running program of 1 mile with physical activities for 25 weeks and students get a chance to run 26 miles (a marathon!) over the course of the school year. KROC culminates with all of the students finishing their marathons at the OC Fair Grounds on Saturday of the festival. Evan participated in this as a 2nd grader, and I have no doubt that KROC had at least some influence on her vision to qualify for the 2028 Olympic Trials in the marathon.
Have a meaningful run, everyone!
