Any race I put him in he gives me 110%. There's not a race that Jim gave away this year.

If you set a goal for yourself and are able to achieve it, you have won your race. Your goal can be to come in first, to improve your performance, or just finish the race-it's up to you.

And I also coach Travis Chambers of Heritage, who place third in that race. So it's kind of like we went 1-2-3-4.

This has been about the fifth or sixth year that we have volunteered at the race. We enjoy going out there and meeting with the runners and helping them out. This really gives us a chance to support the community that has supported us over the last few years.

I've been going to the race since 1996.

It's a tough place to race and a tough place to survive.
