Sometimes it's just not meant to be.....

Gord was signed up for the Skagit Flats Marathon this morning and despite being a beautiful day it wasn't Gord's day.

I got the call at Mile 16 that he couldn't continue. He had a huge blister on one foot and plantar fasciitis on the other and it was too painful to run.

Well, I didn't have a map of the course but I just went to the finish line and followed runners backwards. I finally spotted him at Mile 19.

We'll see what happens on October 7th for the First Annual Bellingham Marathon. Onward and Upwards!!

At the start line

Yikes! Looks painful! I am sure he will rock the Bham Marathon! Hope he feels better soon.
