I never listen to music when I run…..I think about chocolate cake!!

Today I am flying back to Massachusetts. I am truly overwhelmed with gratitude to my spouse and friends who supported me in this crazy adventure. I appreciate all the runners who cheered me on at the finish line and along the course.  

Also.

THANK YOU, HASHEM.

I’m glad I had the strength to keep pushing.

 I’m glad Hashem just carried me to the finish line.

Every step I take is a miracle, a gift from Hashem.

I love this, Sport.

This race also marks a place in time.

I am 56 years old.

I have been married for almost 32 years.

Marriage is strong.

My kids are also  happily married.  

Carrie is married to John.  Izzy is married to Bobby. My spouse and I are enjoying our lovely grandchildren. We have two grandchildren, Sarah, age 5, and Isaac, age 2.  We also have a grandchild due in June because my youngest daughter, Izzy, is pregnant.

I also ran this race for my brother-in-law, Bernie, 57, who is in hospice. He has Down syndrome, and his life force is coming to an end. Running 48.6 miles is more than race rewards—It symbolizes perseverance, triumph, and growth. It’s a symbol of strength. · It’s a symbol of the heart.

I ran this race to prove to myself and others that I can do hard things.
