Last Sunday I ran the LA Marathon.
It was the first day of spring... finally spring! And, it was also a record-breaking rain storm in LA.
Exactly 10 years ago I ran my first marathon. I have blurry post-marathon memories of feeling equal parts of miserable and empowered. It was an accomplishment but it was one less thing I had to do in my life. Done! But... well... you know... never say never.
I am so grateful that I made a 2nd commitment to 26.2! I can't remember a time in recent "wileygirl" history when I have felt more proud of myself. My fabulous running partner and I ran thru the skeptical comments from friends and co-workers, up the hills of downtown LA, thru the cold, windy torrential "movie" rain, thru Hollywood to the ocean and crossed the finish line feeling strong. This time, instead of checking a task off of a bucket list, we are planning the next one. This time, I feel nothing but empowered.
Today I did something else I swore I would never do again... I posted my profile on match.com
