Marathon Monday! WOW! 5 Things for which Im grateful this Monday morning---knowing there is NO way I got to Hopkinton on my own: 1) 2013 Boston Marathon survivors and first responders---you have inspired me every single step of the 593 training miles--- 2) Colonial Road Runners who have supported me for too many years to count---for gifting me a waiver----and for being by my side, either figuratively or literally every step of the way. And HUGE shout out to the volunteers during training and today! 3) November Project and One Run For Boston who have taught me the importance of hugs and how to stay fit and have fun while making amazing new friends 4) My family and friends--yall know who you are--you have supported me in way more efforts than running---today I get to line up with my brother John Reilly and my love, David Constantino and way too many others to mention. Thank you to all of you for being there- 5) My faith---many years ago an event like today would NEVER have been possible---It is through the strength of my higher power and all of the amazing people with whom he has graced my path that I can even brush shoulders with the greatness waiting for me in Hopkinton. My every wish for a beautiful day filled with inspiration and peace and F-U-N. Best of luck to everyone out there---and thanks to all the volunteers for taking care of us!
