Dear Runners,
I must say my first marathon experience was so incredible that everything
seems like a blur to me. Well, may be I just waited too long before I
started to write about my experience sorry, Tim :) What I realized was that
finishing my first marathon gave me a great sense of accomplishment. It is
such a profound feeling that I cannot explain it into words. I could barely
remember all the pain and agony that I experienced during the last 5.2 miles
of the marathon. However, every time I think back about the marathon, it
always brings back good memories. It reminds me of how good it felt like
taking a warm shower after the long run on Saturday morning and having a big
meal right afterwards. It reminds me of the good conversations and the good
times I have had with my fellow runners, and how many good friends I have
made from sharing our common goal--training for the marathon. Yes, I just
said TRAINNING for the marathon. The process of training is actually a one
heck of an experience that fuses into my soul to me, without the experience
of training, I would never be able to fully savor my experience of crossing
the finishing line for my first marathon. I would like to thank all my
teammates for training with me and for always cheering during the races.
Thanks for your courage to challenge yourselves to train for the marathon to
be a part of our team.
Looking forward to training with you for our future marathons,
Amy.
