I forwarded this article to my co-worker who is also running the Lincoln Half on Sunday. She’s a runner too. She gets it. I read her what I wrote on here..how I had I never thought I could do a Full, how successfully running a Marathon changed me, and how I cried when I finished, and how they were threatening to fall once again, just by reading that article.
She told me that SHE was about to cry and had chills from my words. It surprised me. Something I wrote did that to her. Later, I was talking to another co-worker about the Marathon and the article, and read her what I wrote. She said the same thing; she had tears in her eyes and told me how inspiring I am.
It’s so easy for me to brush that off; to not see the impact that we each have on each other. But we do. We all do. And that’s awesome.
@keepgoinggreen said: Its so interesting – because we met the day before your marathon. I did not know any of your back story and I already saw: an athlete, a runner, someone with a great attitude and someone who I never once doubted was going to finish the next day!
Rich- Thank you so much! This made my day! That you saw/see me as an athlete and someone with a great attitude? I love that! Thank you.

Sharon-It was one of the hardest things I have ever done, but so incredibly worth it. If you like distance running and want to challenge yourself, then I highly recommend it. It is amazing what the human body and spirit are capable of.
