Race Recap By Stephanie Orwick:
I’ve been trying to think how to wax poetic about my Boston experience, but all I can think about is how often I said “I can’t believe this is happening” since January until I crossed the finish line. This was the first time, in a very longtime, that I said this in a positive light, which makes it so much more meaningful. And that immediately sends me into a spiral of gratitude that I will inadequately express here. Thankful for the relationship that got me into the race in the first place. Thankful for my husband and kids and in-laws for putting up with me. Thankful for @christina.nicole.c for making sure I had the best Boston experience ever (including watching Laguna Beach with me to keep me calm). Thankful for @yulieg27 and her insider tricks and tips. Thankful for @featherstonenutrition for being my airport hype girl x2. Thankful for @lauramcgreen for letting me take a picture/whip her in the face with my hair. Thankful for @findyourhappypacecoach for trying to coach me despite my lack of adherence. And SO thankful for the many, many, MANY friends and family that cheered me on. I wish I could tag you all, but apparently that gets marked as spam- ask me how I know If you made it this far, I love you and I’m so grateful you’re in my life.
