Two years, 10 miles

Today’s post is going to be short and sweet! Happy second wedding anniversary to the love of my life and my best friend. Each day with you is better than the last. We’ve already been through so much together – so many joys and hardships and so many challenges and experiences – and I can’t wait to experience even more. Like I recited in my vows on this day two years ago, “I can’t wait to walk life’s many paths with you.” There is no other person in the world I want by my side for the rest of my life. Thank you for being the kindhearted, gentle, loving, compassionate, passionate, strong, driven, loyal man you are. I can’t wait to raise a family with you. You make me the happiest woman in the world every day, and there isn’t a second that goes by that I don’t thank G-d for bringing you into my life. You are my rock, my soul mate, my best friend. I love you. Happy anniversary!

Celebrating two years of marriage today!

I love our silly, happy lives together! From the Eiffel Tower to red tongues at Rita's, we have the best times together!

And yesterday, my dear friends, I not only ran my first 10 miler, I ROCKED my first 10 miler! My time came in around 1:31:29. I was nervous and it was hilly but I got it done just like I set out to do! Because I know my body so well, I strategically planned out my food and fluid intake right down to the hour and it worked out well! I am so excited and so proud! What I loved best about yesterday’s run was that it started with a cannon going off. That’s my cue. That’s my cue to put the world aside, tune into my body and my mind and my breathing, and let my legs take me. 

Smiling at the finish! Thank you, Sean, for cheering me on!

I promised myself to flash a smile (for myself or whoever happened to be there) at every mile marker, and I did. And when I saw a sign on the route that said “1 mile to go,” I flashed the biggest smile ever.

Don’t get me wrong – it WAS hard. But I did it. And I loved it. I might write more on it later, but for now, happy anniversary, and happy day-after-10-miler!

FEELING GREAT!

Love,

Marjie
