Heidis Marathon



After months of long runs, lots of doubts and reflection I finished another milestone conquoring the 26.2 mile beast. In my training and then running a marathon I realized that I am not special or unique anyone can do what I did today, it is all a matter of setting your mind to something and not STOPPING (literally today) until your reach that goal. I know this even more today than ever after seeing all the different people competing not against eachother but against the "beast!" There was an older couple, saying older kindly, that was shuffle along the marathon together to be the very last to finish, but they finished! Anyone can do what I did today, it all goes back to my mauntra to get through all those long runs "I CAN FOR THOSE WHO WON'T"

Heidi, first off CONGRATULATIONS! Good for you girl! Props on finishing the BEAST! That is a fantastic accomplishment, you should be very proud of yourself.

Secondly, I am not sure if you have seen my physique lately but the chances of me finishing that marathon in that heat are seriously incalcuable! Those old timers would kick my ass!!

Congrats again!
