The Marathon.
I’m a terrible blogger…I realize that. Oh well. Today is April 4th which means yes, I ran a marathon yesterday. If only I could actually explain what it was like. I have a few words.
Painful
Rewarding
Exciting

Part of me thinks, “Sarah, you are a psycho.” Another part thinks, “Sarah, you are hard core.” And still another part thinks, “You can’t do this on your own.” All three parts are correct, but to me, the “You can’t do this on your own” part, rings the...
