Written by Some people run for themselves. Some run because it’s another race on the schedule. Some run for others. Then some run to compete against themselves. Some run to put distance between the present and something in their past. Some folks run just to measure their will against their determination. Whatever the reason, standing along the route and cheering for runners is downright inspirational. Then, at the finish line, the scene is nothing short of emotional magic. If I am being honest, I was moved to the point of having a lump in my throat numerous times. Then at the finish line, I had tears in my eyes. Seeing runner after runner achieving some personal milestone or another is nothing short of amazing. Then these four, crossing the line with the largest entourage of the day was completely awesome.
So, humbly and completely inspired, with total respect to these four women, I share these photos from today’s race:
