Jakes Race

Jake had his Logan Peak Trail run that is 28 miles in the mountains of Logan Utah.  He trained hard and was ready to kill it!!  But the day before the race they sent out an email saying the trail was to dangerous to go the whole way so they were going to cut it short. Then on the race morning they announced that the race had to be cut down to just 11 miles.  There was so much snow up there that it was not accessible to the runners.
Many were disappointed and Jake wished it wasn't cut down but had a positive attitude about it and was going to just run as hard as he could!!  I went to the starting line and watched him start and then went back to my aunts house to pick up the kids, and then me and the kids came back to see him finish.  Jakes parents came to see him race too.  We were sitting at the finish line watching some of the runners coming in and they had blood and gashes all over their legs.  The last couple miles of the trail were snowy and alot of people were slipping!!  Finally Jake came in and he looked so good.  He is such an inspiration to me!!  I don't know how he can push himself so hard!!  He loves to mountain run!
