Reminds me of my running days. The marathons and halfs, 5 & 8 & 10k’s, all grueling, sweating, wondering “why the heck am I doing this again?” moments; until you cross the finish line, and the high you felt for finishing made every drop of sweat worth it 😊

Deb - that feeling you got after the marathon is exactly what we with PN need to experience. OK, so now it isn't a 5K which I too did into my mid 50's. It can be a small walk and the next day a block longer. I am in PT and for insurance to pay, there has to be improvement. Each time I can stand with eyes closed for 2 seconds longer without holding on, that 5K feeling is what I feel.

Good morning, Debbie (@dbeshears1)
I can still remember the day I completed my first marathon. I'd been working in LA at the time, but flew back to Denver specially to run in that event. Frank Shorter had just won the Olympic marathon and I was still young enough (and crazy enough!) to think, Heck, if he can do it, I can do it. I didn't run my best, but I can still remember how I wept running the final hundred yards to the finish line. It was a very special experience, one I'll never forget.
