AS PROMISED.... (thanks again Dave!)



a well-deserved hug from a proud husband


Don't she look gorgeous?

Sam is too too excited that Mom has finished! And that she has returned to him. Note the prominently displayed socks; this was Sonja's one and only purchase- oh my, she splurged- at the Marathon Expo: a pair of blister-prevention socks. She's smiling because they worked! She was pleased with her investment.

During the run she decided to 'dedicate' each mile to a particular friend and/or family member, and as the miles piled up she found it inspiring to meditate on the joy that each person has brought to her life.

Yes, you were one of them.

I figure I was about mile 22 when she was doing all that cursing...

Her running meditation certainly was successful: wouldn't you like to look this good after completing a fast 26 mile run?: happy moments
