Yesterday was a really great day to finally get to run a 1/2 marathon. To many a 1/2 isnt impressive, to others it is very impressive. We all have our measurements based on our own experiences. I remember a time being thrilled to have run a 5k. I still cheer just as much for people who start walking after back surgery. So here is MY celebration. Some of you know I struggle with a minor heart condition that is triggered by a few things, one being too rapid of a pulse. Therefore cardiovascular exercise is very challenging and sometimes scary to pursue. Every body has challenges and Ive built a career on trying to help people overcome them. It doesnt matter if its severe or minor when you are trying to overcome them, it takes humility, perseverance and help from great friends and advisors. My last race I went across the finish line in an ambulance, yesterday I held my sons hand and finished with a cartwheel. The medal was nice, but finally overcoming the fear of my own body breaking and now respecting how it needs to be run was one of the biggest wins of my life. Thank you to Meredith Beau, Mary Sha Moriarty, AlanandJessica Bubbus and Joe Eick. Your advise and support were with me through it all.
