Push Through the Wall.

Sometimes life is about standing up and facing what is thrown your way - runners call it the wall and I hit mine around mile 9ish when running a half and again at mile 20 during my full.  

Monday, we united as a country and stood up against evil. Tuesday, runners everywhere Ran for Boston, the fans, the family, the friends, the first responders, the runners - we ran for all of them.  We ran as a community, as a team, as a family.

You think you knocked us down? Try mile 9. You think you scared us? Try the hill at mile 15. You think we won't endure? Trying crossing the finish line in the ice, rain, snow, heat - sweating, crying, bleeding. We will get up. We will push through doubt and fear. We will endure. If our strength feels like it is giving out, then we will use your cowardice to motivate us to push through that wall.  We will finish. We are a team and we stand together.

WE ARE RUNNERS.
