"The marathon teaches you character, discipline."
Meb Keflezighi
In truth, I hated running.
We kept a steady pace to support much needed conversations.
I found strength in sharing my independence, my pride, my warrior-like persona to help those around me.
There might be other races, maybe not. But there will never be another right now.
I tucked myself into a private meeting space with a box of tissues and my thoughts.
Over time, the vibrance of the arrow faded. The symbolism of that takes my breath away.
It's the decisions we make, when we think we're alone, that are the most crucial.
I needed to be okay during this quiet time - a struggle, for sure.
