The Finish - WOW!!!!!

I'm not sure if there is really anyway to discribe how incredibly AMAZING this day was!  The weather was PERFECT, the event was AWESOME, and the finish line could not have been more meaningful.  The journey was different for each one but the end was the same - YOU DID IT!

To say that I have been looking forward to experiencing this accomplishment with you is a great understatement and I can honestly say that my expectations were greatly exceeded because of your efforts and your hearts.

I pray that you are now forever changed and that you set another goal, physical, intellectual, or other.  It's fair to say that you have realized there is so much more in you, give yourself the opportunity to use this strength and become an even greater you!

When rough times come draw from what you did today.  Remember the pain, but more importantly, remember the finish.  The course might have become challenging but it came to an end and the reward was great.  The same is true for whatever you might be going through.  Don't EVER give up, think of what you would have missed today if you allowed your body to dictate your fate.  You might feel sore and a little beat up for a couple of days but the lasting effects of your determination and grit will far surpass the pain.  Nothing lasts forever, you can do anything for a few minutes or hours, and you have an inner strength that allows you to dig deep and keep on going!!!


Stretch and walk but most importantly - Enjoy your victory!
