The thought each of them put behind getting it done and the sheer power of will.

I want to tell you about the amazing sense of community I felt, about the runners that stopped to make sure I was ok. I want to tell you about all the amazing people, the tears in my eyes, and my amazing 17 year old son that took every single step with me. I want to tell you about how hard this was and how great it felt. I want to tell you about the oreos...
I am just still too emotional to write too much about it .
