Its not about the medal, its about the time
Its not about the medal, its about the time I was no different than most little girls. I dreamed of the knight riding up to my window on a white horse, coming to get me for my “happily ever after.” I had dreams that soon became far from reality as I matured and realized those things only happened in fairy tales. I got my knight, but he certainly didnt ride a white stallion, he actually drove a Geo Tracker! My goals and dreams changed as I arew up. I’d always dreamed of running a marathon…then I ran a 1/2 marathon and that dream and goal was scratched off the list. There was NO way I was going to be able to run a 1/2 marathon TWICE. Fast forward eight years to the weekend EXACTLY… I just completed one of my “fairy tale” dreams. Believe me, there was nothing romantic or beautiful about this accomplishment. It came with literal blood, sweat, and tears! Some run their races for the medal; some run their races for time....
