One week ago

Has it been a week already?

Has it only been a week?


This time last week I was nervous and excited with anticipation.

I was also confident and determined.

I couldn't believe the day had finally come after 18 weeks of preparation.

I knew what I had to do.

But I also knew that anything could happen over 26.2 miles.

The race could chew me up and spit me out,

or it could turn out to be the race of my dreams.

No matter what I had done or hadn't done, nothing is certain at the start line of a marathon.

And that's what makes it even more worthwhile when everything comes together and it happens.

I'm not sure if it has fully sunk in.
I am a 3:37 marathoner? Say what?!

Thank you sooo much for all of your comments and support - you've made it all even more meaningful.

One week later...

I am still screaming beaming.
