Happy Eclipsing, dear Followers! I hope you wore your glasses and enjoyed the festivities.
Having trained for four+ months, and run nearly 600 miles, I, for one, made every effort to stay upright with those blackout shades on!
I just want to thank all of my supporters - those who have given their time, talent and treasure in support of Miles for Miracles, and my patient partner, Oliver. This has been an amazing journey and it is hard to believe there is only one week to go. This is the taper phase, where the mileage declines substantially, the rest and recovery are tantamount, and the newly found time can focus on the lessons learned along the way.
It is not too late to give, or share the link, or give again!! Every gift, no matter the size, matters!!
So, my top ten lessons (apply to this experience, or life in general):
#10: Time passes faster if you run the long runs with the team.
#9: If you put out the call for support, people will surprise you with their generosity!
#8: It takes a village.
#7: Be flexible and if your first idea doesn't work, try something else.
#6: Caution - tree roots grab you when you least expect it.
#5: You don't need your eyes to run.
#4: Be creative to get the training miles in.
#3: Friends come in all shapes and sizes.
#2: The remembrance run and all the stories are moving beyond words.
#1: I got the best patient partner ever!! #OliverHuffman, you are my hero!
