Ultra Nick

We got home from Salt Lake on Friday night and got to bed around midnight. Nick was up at 6:00 am to compete in his first ultra marathon. It was the Cowtown Ultra marathon and it was 31 miles long. Despite being sleep deprived and having an injured IT band in his knee, he finished in 4 hours 40 min, placed 38th overall and 3rd in his age division! We are all so proud of him and all of his hard work. He never stops amazing me! Thank you to his parents for coming to see him race!

Why didn't he run the race in the shoes you got him for Christmas? :p

Great job Nick!! I'm impressed. Hope the IT band feels better. Try a foam roller (ask for one at a physical therapy office and they can show you how to use it- it will help!)

And how's that IT band doing now? So impressive, Nick! I have a feeling you inspired Lee to run the next marathon with you.:) Right, Alycia?
