And a lot of people stay at the finish line just to watch them come in and to applaud them. It makes me cry just thinking about it. I am proud to say that the Hoyts are collegues of mine; they are what inspires the best in all of us esp. when you're out there in intense heat and thinking "I HURT SO BAD, maybe I should stop"....then you see them on the other side of the road and realize how lucky you really are  |
So, do you run?
My husband picked it up this year & is doing really well. I cant wait for him to watch the video. I know how hard he works, I cant imagine doing all of that for 2 people
