Pondering

If you asked me 8 months ago what I would be doing on May 3rd, I can assure you running 10 miles down Broad Street would not have been on the list. Yet, as I sit here with a tummy full of pasta and freshly clipped toe nails, I can't imagine not getting ready for my first race.

It's been quite a bonding experience training over the past few months; reading blogs, sharing tips and treating injuries. Now I sit here 12 hours before the start of the race reading through past blogs and reflecting on how far we've all come. I didn't have the opportunity to know Bruce as well as everyone else, but by reading and listening to your stories I feel honored to run in his memory.

Even though I still hate running, I have to admit I'm already thinking about next year's race.

So sleep well, stretch well and run well. Cross the finish line with your heads held high. Well done Team Stans!
