The whole time I was training I kept saying that "running just isn't my thing." And guess what, it still isn't. But do you want to know the stupidest part about it all??...
I will do it again. I don't have the next one planned yet, nor do I have plans to plan one, but I'll be back to beat my 2:52 time.
My purpose of this post is mostly to talk about my team, though. After running for nearly 3 hours, with every piece of my body begging me to stop and the finish line so close, I saw (and heard) my loved ones standing along the final stretch, cheering me on with signs and all. This was the expression on my face:
I don't think there is any question as to the emotions I was feeling at that exact moment, and I don't feel that I could or should put words to those emotions. I did a hard thing, and there they were, exactly where I needed them.
My team. The best team in my whole world! (including those who were there in spirit)
Thank you for being there.

So, so happy for you. Love you to pieces!
I'm with Jamie. Total tears. I am soooo proud of you! You have always been so good at putting your mind to something and doing it! You are such an amazing example to the rest of us. Love you sister. You forgot to show the best part of our signs.
