A Popsicle

I ran a marathon today. I had business being on the course! I haven't run more than 3 miles since May. And I have a hip injury that will require surgery in the next couple months. But, I ran anyway. I ran way more than I expected to be able to! And I finished, and it was awesome. One of the best parts of the race was mile 19. There was a lady there with her Ian personal cooler. she was handing out Popsicles - "big sticks" to be specific. I'm so thankful for that Popsicle! Not only was cold and wet, it was a great little push. ("big sticks" we're my dad's favorite!)
