My First Maine Marathon

My first Maine Marathon, this race is my baby. I will always love this race, running it three times attests to that love. This was my favorite medal, because one side is a lobster and the other is an outline of the state of Maine, it rotates back and forth. Most of my running has been in NY, Maine, Florida and North Carolina. When you want something more than anything in the world, there is a way to make it happen. At one point all I wanted in this world was to become a marathon runner. Then, the journey becomes the destination, because I just want more and more, continuing to build on layers and layers of years of hard work. The marathon truly is the best metaphor for life. From running I have learned you are not what you do, however action much rather reflects your character. A thirty-five minute 5k can mean the same as a 17 minute 5k, and whomever you love should love you either way.
