After a couple of months away to focus on Kaitlin's wedding (Aug. 2, 2014), we wanted to give a quick recap of race number seven before we jump into our last six races of the year.
For our seventh race we traveled to Buffalo, New York to fulfill our NFL dreams (or other peoples dreams!). The 50 Yard Finish started outside the Buffalo Bills Stadium, otherwise known as the Ralph Wilson Stadium, and finished on the 50 Yard Line of the official NFL field... Awesome!
Melissa went into the race feeling strong and eager, but Kaitlin was struggling with some health issues and was feeling nervous about how the race would pan out. Melissa reassured her she would carry her for 5 kilometers...5?!?! Kaitlin convinced her to try 1 kilometer near the end of the race. This goal quickly turned into a hilarious 500 meters of laughter which entertained all of the other racers around us immensely.
Silliness aside, we ran the race together and had the opportunity to have some of the best conversations we've ever had together. Life sometimes throws us some curve balls in our health, relationships, and careers but we have each other and running to help us come out on top!
It brings an important question to light when we look back at these memories. What does running mean to you? Has it changed your life like it has changed ours?
Until next time!
Happy Running :)
- Melissa and Kaitlin
