Carissa did a really great job summarizing the Girlfriends Half Marathon in her race recap. It is always such a gift to train and race with Carissa. Her friendship and athleticism have propelled me to achieve things I didn't know were possible. We all need Sole Sisters.
This race was special for me. Not because of my finish time (which I was thrilled with), but because it was a day to celebrate a friend who left this earth too soon. I posted my race recap on my personal blog. You can find it here.
What about you? Have you run a race in honor of a friend or loved one? Did it help with your grief? Would you share with us?
I have never ran a race in memory of a loved one, I might have trouble breathing because I might get emotional. I love that you ladies did though! There is a small race down here that is a tribute to a young man who died in combat. He had been my student about 10 years ago. If they have it again, I might consider participating.
ReplyDeleteThanks Raina. The run for your former student sounds awesome.
