After the Marathon, you are supposed to refrain from running for 2 weeks. Well, they didn't need to ask me twice. Especially since my knees are killing me, and it is all I can do to walk without wincing.
After the Marathon, several strangers stopped and congratulated me, having seen Libby and me in the little Globe article. Many other people at work called or stopped by to say congratulations, and one kindly, but anonymously, left a rose on my desk! I wish that person would come forth, so I could thank them . . . I appreciated all the positive feedback so much!
After the Marathon, it feels nice on a Saturday morning to NOT rush out to a training run. This morning Libby and I went to the last Dumplings get-together for the year, (Dumplings being the fabulous play group for adopted Chinese children run by the Harvard ChinaCare organization). We missed many of these gatherings due to Marathon training. I'm glad we made it to this one, where we got to make delicious dumplings, and to visit with our dear friends Anne, Lou, Maeve, and Gioia.
After the Marathon, my Aunt Elizabeth died, and her funeral is Monday. She was a lovely lady, who lived to be over 100.
After the Marathon, I have to stop and think: what about the blog? Should I continue it? I want to, because it is very therapeutic for me, sort of an online journal. It is also a good way to keep people informed about what' s going on with me. Like a perpetual holiday letter. So, I guess I will keep it going, at least through the process of our adoption of Xi Le. Henceforth, to be referred to (the adoption, not Xi Le) as Marathon #2.
so, good night, and watch this space for further developments!
