I am so proud of my husband. After only 6 months of running, Rick did his first marathon. AND because we are talking about Rick, he chose a hardcore trail run in Aspen, CO. The Aspen Backcountry Marathon. This is not for sissies. This has a total of 5,000 ft in elevation gain. They climbed 3 different mountains, topping out at an altitude of over 10,000 ft! He finished in just over 7 hours, which was his goal.
They left at 6am, in the dark. It was fun cheering him on at the start and the finish. He did have one big tumble on a down hill slope--which is why he is so dirty. But he wasn't injured and able to continue on.
I'm so thrilled that Rick pushed himself and accomplished such a feat. I love you baby!
