Congratulations! I knew you would finish the race. What a great story, thanks for writing it out this week. It's amazing how the easy runs are remembered, but the hard ones are revered in our memories.

Thank you Beth for reading. I'm happy I was able to write this one down. I agree with what you said here—"but the hard ones are revered in our memories." True for me too.

Julie, I am both exhausted and ecstatic as I feel I ran all 26.2 miles with you. Saturated to the bone but levitating in my heart. Your mortal body houses a beautiful, eternal Soul. God Bless....

You made it! 🙌 Way to go!

This week I've been enjoying the story of your marathon experience immensely - thank you so much for sharing it! I needed my hanky to get through today's post - but they're happy tears! ⭐️

Hoping to make it to Write Together Friday, although I'm not quite sure yet how my day will look. 😊

Thank you so much Rebecca for reading along and this sweet message. Yes the write session is tomorrow not today— I wrote that by mistake. Hope it works for you but if not see you next time. :)
