I heard this quote the other day on from the AMR podcast looking back over their last 100 podcasts. Images of last year's Boston Marathon began to rush into my head. Banner day has come and the marathon is just 4 weeks away. It is hard to not think about it. I joined up with a group this weekend for a long run...a group of people who knew the finish line of last year all too well...a group of powerful and resilient men and women who have vowed to continue to cross that finish line! It was a light conversation over the 10 miles I joined them for...talk of jacket colors and weather worries...of what corral they were in this year and how things have changed. What wasn't discussed was April 15th, 2013...they had already lived it...and now they were ready to put it behind them! Their resolve is so inspiring to me! We all battle to get to the finish line...we sacrifice...we push...we make it to that finish line and throw our arms in the air...and this year EVERYONE will make it!!!
Yes!!! Winning is finishing for sure.

This is absolutely beautiful and perfect. Putting April 15th behind us/them is the best thing and looking and moving forward is the best thing.
