Race Day Bling

“In running, it doesn’t matter whether you come in first, in the middle of the pack, or last. You can say ‘I have finished.’ There is a lot of satisfaction in that.”

-Fred Lebow, New York City Marathon co-founder

A friend recently reminded me to take the time to celebrate  achievements. It was a great reminder not to treat our goals or achievements as  something we check off a list to make room for the next “thing”. If it had not  been for this conversation, I probably would have been guilty of that today.

San Diego Rock n Roll Half Marathon Gear

For the last three seasons, I’ve trained for a marathon and two half-marathons with Team in Training. We raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in exchange for the training. Losing my mom-in law to Leukemia in 2009 was the catalyst.

Over the years we’ve formed long-lasting relationships and solidified existing ones. It’s been an amazing journey of love, laughter, grieving, healing, and growing.
