I remember frantically getting to Georgetown, and waiting in the Four Seasons Hotel, where you would be passing, as I got there earlier than I thought I would. Next stop, The Smithsonian. Find the right subway and get there as fast as I could. Nearly missed you there, but saw you run right in front of me. I knew you would not give up. You had talked about that bridge, at the end of the marathon that was the "killer" for many, but as I got to the finish , and waited for you to cross the bridge, my heart was jumping out of my skin. But, I knew you were coming. You would not give up, and I knew that. There you were; crossing the finish line and your name announced on the PA system, if my memory is right. But, definately you made it. I thought to myself, what a kid. You just would not give up. Your determination was amazing, because I could see the pain that you were in, which you had to deal with later. What a moment for you. What stregth you displayed in the training and in the success of completing the race. I was so proud and happy for you, on that day, ten years ago.jean jablonskinoreply@blogger.com
