Thanks so much Nicole for sharing your beautiful story. I have done 2 half marathons and never wanted to attempt a full because I know that I am slow. You are truly inspiring and I absolutely loved reading this. Congratulations!!

At first I wasn’t going to stay with the story. I didn’t feel like reading a long blog post, but I am so glad I did. You are awesome! I love your strength and courage. I love that you gave God the glory, and had your family cheering you on. You go girl!!!

We enjoyed watching your marathon blog story, every bit of it! We congratulate you on persevering and reaching your goal, after many tough obstacles, delays, getting lost, etc. It had to be hard and most discouraging at times. It just shows how important it is to stand with each other and give our support to one another. We thought your God-given surprise (Pat) was just wondeerful!

Thanks for inspiring us to do something very difficult . . . and all for God’s glory!

Love,
Dave and Marian

This is a fantastic story of courage and hope. I’m quite inspired. I’m proud of you and Pat — more than proud, really. As I begin my first season as a running mentor for Team in Training, I’ll remember your story. Thank you so much for sharing.

And, of course, CONGRATULATIONS!
