the finish line
I attended a funeral today. A running friend of mine died on Sunday. She was 56, diagnosed with breast cancer in January. She ran until the chemo made it impossible.
It makes you think ...
It makes me sad ...
It makes me want to run a little bit harder, a little bit further, for her.
There was a wonderful part of the service that tied her running into life. When she first started running she knew she was training for something, just didn't know what. She was training for the biggest battle of her life, and now she has crossed the finish line. She would be there waiting, cheering for those close to her, when they crossed the finish line.

Have you heard that song "I Run For Life" by Melissa Etheridge? It's about her battle with breast cancer.
I am sorry about your friend.
