I have a few more things I do not want to forget. I have enjoyed 2 weeks of rest, the hamstring seems to be all healed up, and The Girl and I have completed our first 3 mile run as a duo. As I took my downtime after the races, new memories come flooding in. I wanted to get them in writing so I could look back on them when training for next year's Goofy gets rough.
- Yes, I said next year's Goofy. My husband and a friend or three want to do the Goofy with me next year.
- The final Marathon finisher finished with her service dog. One of the lovely, amazing, and beautiful volunteers brought a medal to the dog in the med tent.
- Having a best friend that stayed up to make sure she could talk to me while I was on the way to the starting line both days. Also having her husband, one of my favorite people in the world (mostly because he gets my stupid jokes), tell me they were proud of me. I miss those two. With any luck they may be 2 of the three from item 1.
- A guest service representative that saw The Girl cheering for every single runner, asked her to come find her before they headed to see me at the finish. She rewarded her with any stuffed animal she would like. The guest services rep said since she spent her birthday weekend cheering for the runners she deserved something special.
