“Hayley Carruthers, who crossed the line in a hugely impressive personal best of 2:33:59, attempted to get back to her feet but didn’t have the strength to stand back up.”
She started running a mere 3 years before finishing this marathon.
The comparisons between this picture and approaching the finish line of my second year…
Or any year for that matter.
Or even at the end of a heavy grief day.
It takes everything we have in us to finish.
But we do.
Every single day. 💙
