Today I ran the See Spot Run 10k in Guthrie. I was struggling with the many steep hills and felt like I couldn't run any more. Just as I was contemplating giving up my 100% effort, I saw laying on the ground near the side of the road some gloves a runner up ahead had thrown off. The gloves had printed on them the words "Run Jack Run"! I remembered Jack Rector and the good advice he gave me during marathon training about relaxing my body, changing my form, not entertaining the thoughts of giving up! I remembered his smiling face and ever friendly personality! I pressed on toward the goal. I did it for Jack!
