Only fumes in the tank through the final three miles. Yet, immensely satisfied at the finish with arms raised and #1 fingers held high crossing the line."Mark that one of your list," offered a smiling woman handing an icy bottle of water.
Yes. Done. 26.2 miles. My first marathon.
You wonder why we do it?
Get out there. Run. Run long. Run with a goal. Run in pursuit. Run to know.
You'll learn the answer within.

Hebrews 12:1-2 says:
1: Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.
2: Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Your marathon reminds me of our own marathon with Jesus! Keep up the good work!!
Great message. Run on, brother!
