My friend Andy called me at work today to wish me luck in the marathon on Sunday. I feel overwhelmed, and very fortunate to have so much support. Andy and I used to work together and both share a passion for the outdoors. The fact that we were differing speeds didn't prevent us from "running together" we would just run the opposite direction and look for each other to high five as we passed when we ran the trail in the mornings. We would ask each other the day before which direction we were going to run in and if we didn't see the other on the trail that morning we gave each other grief at work, but for the most part it consisted of, "did you see that heron this morning?" or "wasn't the fog across the water amazing?" Having shared experiences makes those experiences more real and much more brilliant. Looking forward to the marathon I'm excited to have the support of all those around me. I absolutely used the support in the Ironman and will carry those kind thoughts and support with me as I wind through the five buroughs in pursuit of my goal.
