My Brain:
Was there ever a doubt I could do it? Yes. After all, a year ago this time, I had tried and failed to run a full marathon, only able to finish half of it (grant it, it was due to the Swine Flu). Even standing in the parking lot waiting for the race to start, I told the rest of Dan that maybe he should get in his car and not go through with it. I think it was just nerves. As the sun rose, I started gaining more confidence that I could will the rest of Dan through the race. After all, this is Dan's brain we're talking about. There haven't been many problems I haven't been able to will Dan through. Let's not forget how intelligent and witty I am after all. As the race continued, I'm pretty sure I was the only thing that made the rest of Dan move forward. After all, without me sending commands, he doesn't move at all. I had to hum the theme to Rocky a few times, but I kept him going. Yep, it was all me.
My Heart/Spirit:
Not only did I keep the blood pumping through Dan's body, delivering oxygen to his muscles, but I also was something more....something deeper. I was the courage Dan didn't know he had. I was the one who always believe he could do it. I was the one that almost started balling after it was over, so happy and so proud for what Dan had just done. Yes I did pray during the race. I prayed that Dan would find all he was looking for out of this accomplishment. Such a metaphor for life itself, but Dan fought the good fight...he ran the good race.
My Body (especially my legs):
WTF DAN!!!!
On a more serious side, thank you for everyone who believed in me that I could do this. I could feel the power of your prayers. I love you all.
