I want to someday write a book on the similarities of Marathons and Motherhood. After experiencing the cheers from supporters at the end of a race I have found myself cheering on moms in the grocery store and at the Dr.'s office, "Wow, look at you you're making it...keep on trekking!" Or to a friend on an evening phone call, "You're doing great, bed time is around the corner, you can finish this thing." Thanks for letting us all in to your running world. You are, and always have been amazing. I love ya Sis. Hooray for the many lessons learned and all the insights written here.

I can't wait to feel the "hard" again. Tears in my eyes as I sit here reading and nursing, counting the days til I can run again. I can’t wait to feel the “hard” again.

Kids can't just play outside like they could in the good old days. Beware of everyone seems to be the message we cling to. I just love that dude in yellow who didn't know you from Adam, but he helped you out, human helping human. Most of us are honestly trying to do what's right in life. There are indeed a few bad apples, but there is so much good out there. It was nice to be reminded of that, thanks for the uplifting story.

And great comments too. I will be quoting "the hard is what makes it great" again and again. I love how well you described your experience. I felt like I was there too. Is that why I'm so tired! The comment comparing all hard things to marathons was enlightening. I felt my brain wrinkling! : ) Thanks for this excellent post! And great comments too.

I just managed to be more impressed with you. ;) I needed to hear "the hard is what makes it great" today--I'm wallowing through a bunch of stuff October brings up, and it was good to be reminded that it IS great because it is hard. One foot in front of the other, over and over again. Thank goodness for those people who keep cheering us on, even though they don't know it! Good for you, Heather!
