Today was a memorable day for me. I completed my first ever half marathon, that’s 13.1 miles of discomfort. According to an article in Runner’s World, when people finish a long distance run, they have moments of great revelations; I just felt nauseous and lethargic. However, I do have a few reflections from the day:
1. The body is an amazing machine; the mind is a foe to be reckoned with.
2. Dogs are scarier and bigger in America than they are in China.
3. Saying good-bye to family never gets easier.
Thanks for a great week-end family! I love you and miss you already!

Remember...Sometimes it's the journey, not the destination and you are having a wonderful journey.

Think of the multitudes that could not run even one mile. Good for you.
Congrats, Portia! Sorry we never made the famous Freeman to Menno run/ride when you were home. Keep in touch, take care, and God Bless!
