Today: I get by with a little help from my friends.
And my amazing (and fast!) boyfriend. And my incredible family. And the strangers on Twitter who tweeted words of encouragement at 5 AM on race day. And my fellow Team in Training South Boston teammates: Nick (obvi), Amy, Brian, Tina, Mal, Colleen and Ben. And our coach Christina. And the incredible TNT coaches, mentors and staff who lined the marathon route offering support and encouragement. And all those who have bravely battled blood cancer, and their families who battled alongside them.

When it was all said and done, getting to the finish line was easy; I had all these people carrying me.
Also On Tap for Today:
- More photos and a proper marathon recap (or 9) soon
- Picking up Clark! 🙂
- Doing a crippled version of the Snow Dance
Who’s rooting you on? Go on, give them a shout out.

[…] After a quick right hand turn, the finish line was before me. There were people clapping and yelling, a Gospel choir singing, and… it was over. Before I knew it, there was a medal around my neck and an over-sized piece of tinfoil being wrapped around my shoulders. I am a marathoner. I got to the finish line, with a lot of help from my friends. […]
