Last team run was today. I am so glad that Jen and I went. The run itself was awesome. It was in South Boston along Carson Beach and then around Castle Island. My life list included a run around Castle Island, so this was perfect. I was scheduled to run 8 miles, and the team said that we were going to run about 6 miles. I have to think that I ended up running somewhere in between, which was just fine. The weather was great, though rather hot.
Being with the team was terrific. It is a diverse group brought together by one cause, to find a cure. So many people are so interesting.
After the run, I got my race shirt. The team spirit, inspiration, and emotion were huge. Knowing that so many people there deal each day with Crohn's and colitis was a bit overwhelming for me. Knowing a bit more about what these courageous people deal with puts my issues into perspective. I must each day recognize and appreciate how fortunate I am.
Tonight I am tired, and a bit drained, which is just fine given the source of my depletion.
