Flight 643---BOS/BWI

I just wanted to share with ya'll something really exciting for me...yes even more exciting than running the Boston Marathon. :) (see post below)
I had the great pleasure of having at least 25 (or more if they changed out of their running gear) Boston Marathoners on my flight last night. What an amazing sight. And it was truly the best flight of the day. Runners are good people and they keep their heads on when they fly...And yeah most were passed out looking slightly uncomfortable folded up into what we call COACH seating. But never the less they all were proud and those that didn't run that where with those who did where rightly proud of them, sharing their times ect... It was like being apart of a blog...but actually getting to meet them all face to face. They were old, young, (really young a 16 year old ran most of the race with his dad) some didn't speak a lick of English but knew what thumbs up and a huge smile meant. It was a beautiful thing. Having never actually been a part of a race I can only guess and hope that it was like our plane ride last night. And I have a new goal for myself. Boston is one of my favorite places to go, and so ONE day I want to run that Marathon. One Day.

A few words for those of you one Flight 643 last night from Boston... You all are amazing and thank you for letting me ask and ask questions when I know you wanted to sleep. :) And to the man that said it was a walk in the park...yeah I'll see about that one day.

Boston Marathon

I ran the Boston Marathon today! Well I ran along with them, the leaders that is. :) Yeah maybe I was on the treadmill but it counts a little doesn't it? No? Oh well it was worth a shot.
Somehow I was unaware of the fact that today was the grand Boston Marathon. So to my surprise when I got on the treadmill and flipped on the TV (yeah it's one of those mill's that have their own TVs, super cool) and there they were running their hearts out in really BAD weather condition's. It makes me jealous in a good way for their strength, so I ran hard, with more of an incline then normal. And it felt good. And it was really just amazing to watch! Maybe I will be there one day.

So after I ran I went to lift weights. I think I can up how many sets I do. Because once I was warmed up from the run the weights felt good.

It feels good to be back into the swing of things...one day closer to total health.

thoughts...

I hate feeling like the only time I blog any more is when I am really down on myself. There is so much good going on in my life that it seems silly to be so blue about a few bad things. And those few bad things I am trying to get a better view point on them. I've been thinking a lot about death lately and what things would I be sorry I missed out on, and what I think others would say about me. What kind of person I would be remembered as. Just in life in general I guess, we have such a short time here on earth what do I really want to spend my time doing? I need to figure that out then figure out how to get there. Just some random thoughts that I've been running about in my head while flying...
