November 1st was a good day to run. Five years after our car accident- it feels good to be this alive. I am not a natural runner, nor do I really like running. But setting my mind to this goal and actually finishing felt really good. Running a half marathon was hard but I loved the rush of being out there with thousands of people running together. It was a very over cast day but the ocean was beautiful... at one point during the race I could even see dolphins swimming along the coast!
This link is a picture just before I crossed the finish line!

Deric barley made it to the race... he arrived just a few minutes before I finished. He forgot the camera but was able to get a few seconds of video...the finish line! (I am the one in the blue shirt!)

Way to go girl! You are my hero! Now you know there is a big marathon here on the east coast. We would all love to see you back here, even if it just was for a few hours of running. Miss you all.
You rock! I want to run with you.
