Sometimes the goal for a run isn’t a new record, a new distance, or even the medal. Sometimes just finishing a race is all you can aim for. In the past, marathons have typically had this goal for me, but after injuring my foot, all I wanted to do was cross the finish line alive in the Brooklyn Half. Thanks to my running buddy Rebecca, I had someone to help get me through some of the toughest running outside of miles 22-26 of a marathon.
