God willing, I will run until the end.
Personal:
I run with God. I use my running time to contemplate, to pray and to listen for His call. I'm married to a non-runner, but a supportive one, and we have four children.
I have not missed XC at all. In fact, I have secretly celebrated my decision every day that I have walked out of school and XC is in the throes of practice.
BUT I did get a little teary-eyed when a runner came to my room between classes and handed the 1.5 foot high wooden XC sign with my name painted on it. He thought I'd like to have mine before they got ready to paint over last year's athletes with the current crop.
