I’m overwhelmed with admiration right now. The night before the NYC Marathon always makes me feel this way (except when I’m running it – then I’m just a nervous wreck). Thinking of my friends and teammates who’ve worked so hard these past few months. In particular, those friends who’ve overcome injury and illness, who are running their first marathon, who are serving as Achilles guides, who are helping friends meet their goals, who know that the outcome on race day is not nearly as important as the dedication, perseverance, and will power that brought each of them to the starting line. It’s been 18 months since my last marathon, long enough to feel that running 26.2 miles is a superhuman thing. And you all truly are super humans. Rest well tonight, and run strong tomorrow.
