The journey of the marathon is over, and it is oh so symbolic of this last year too. I crossed the line and closed the door to the last year of stress, sadness, anger. The last 7 miles my dear friend Jenn joined in and ran with me, she had been waiting with Rick at the spectator point at mile 19.5 (which seeing them was the GREATEST), we talked a bit about life and how both hers and mine took turns we never would've imagined. As mother's our children are our world, and while we will never forgive the other person for dividing our precious time with our children up, our lives are more fullfilled than ever. We have people in our life that enrich our every day. As I crossed the line they were all there waiting and cheering me on, I couldn't help but be excited that this is my life, and these are the people I get to share my life with!
Finished in 3:46 (average 8:39 minute mile). I am waving, not dancing in this pic!
