My sister, Emily, sent me an email of 26 inspirational quotes, one - TopicsExpress



          

My sister, Emily, sent me an email of 26 inspirational quotes, one for each mile, to read before running my first marathon on Sunday. I loved each and every one of them but the one I loved most was her own, “when it gets tough or you feel like quitting know Jamie is with you every step of the way!” She sure was. I was in the car with my parents on the way to the race in Newport, RI and as we crossed over the bridge we had the most beautiful view of the sunrise. My dad said, “Jamie’s here” and the biggest smiles came across our faces. The way the sun glistened off the water miles 6-8, the little boy with the sign that read “you can do it” while he ate oreos in a lawn chair at mile 19 (everyone laughed at the irony of the situation, I laughed because, while not creme betweens, I know Jamie would have approved :)), or the way my randomly shuffling playlist played Brittney Spears “Stronger” while climbing the hill at mile 23… I couldn’t have done it without Jamie or the support of the #milesforjamie family
