CK: The other day, did you run the 28 miler with Paige Higgins up at 7500ft of elevation; or where you in for just part of it? And who said: “my body loves this s&%t, you or Paige?”
LA: [laughing]…I honestly wish I could say I accompanied Paige on her 28 miler! However, I only joined her for the last 75 minutes. I thought she’d be getting tired and would want some company for the last 10-11 miles, other than Greg’s wonderful encouragement and commenting on how easy it is to bike at that pace, I was also banking on her being tired…not the case! I met her at 7:30am and was hurting within the first minute. She had been averaging 7-minute miles and kept on trucking once I joined in. I only completed the 75 min at that pace out of sheer pride. It’s always a treat to run with her and Greg, especially when she’s feeling good. It was Paige who declared, ‘My body loves this s&%t!’ and that was about 20 miles deep. She is fit and so READY for World’s!!! I can’t wait to see her race.
