This was an amazing experience. I still don’t think I can sum it up any better than I did in my original FaceBook post….
The culmination of sooo much. 22 weeks of training and work put into those 26.2 miles.
My amazing hubby, Christopher was with me every step of the way…. Darling – without your love, support, help, and phenomenal cooking I never could have accomplished this. This really belongs to both of us…. we make one hell of a team.
And it was soooo many of you with me every day through these weeks – the texts, the gatoraid, the tips, support, patience when I had to blow you off for training, the company on my runs and sooo much more.
I don’t even know where to start, so in no particular order. And if I miss someone my apologies….
- Mom & Dad – hearing you say how proud you are of me means more to me than you know. Love ya!
- Jerry – You are a rockstar!!!! Nancy – Thanks for loaning me your husband for the day.
- Dane – You inspired me more than you know, and how cool having my own personal paparazzi!
- Julia – No fair making me cry.
- Kevin & Donnamarie – Thanks for being there with us. You make me feel all upside-down.
- Jon & Brooke – Your texts along the way kept me smiling! (Jon, hope it is a good book 😉 )
- Yanni – Not only did you get me my discount, you kept my secret until I was ready to tell the world.
- Joe, Jim, Gary, Sarah Jesica – and all the other Wed. night run clubbers. Thanks for helping me get my miles, the advice & support.
- Kay, Amanda, Cathi, Catherine, Heather & Beth – Thanks for the Tuesday nights away. I needed those breaks from the training.
- Lanakila & Reed — Gatoraid!!!
- NDRC crew – ya’ll know how to throw a rolling party! Thanks for the company over all the miles!
- Mary – Thanks for all your support.
- Bonnie – Loved your texts & messages.
- Gary & Michael – You two rock! Thanks for the flowers & the support along the way.
- Kristina – For every mile Trinity was with me. So grateful she could share this journey with me.
- Everyone at Bethany UMC who encouraged me every week & followed along with my training, ya’ll are the bestest!!!
- Marc – For the support & advice 🙂 And add another to the Oswego marathoners.
- Team Mimosans – For the support & advice along the way, Thank you.
There are so many others who sent texts, said “Hi” on the trail and had support for me along the way. If I missed you I am sorry…. I’m blessed with such a crazy, huge tribe I lose track some times.
