Johnny B.H. - Thank you!

Dear Johnny B.H.
I wrote a couple weeks ago with a couple questions and I am just writing to update you:
Whew! I got through the half marathon. It was a big adrenaline rush the whole time. It was great seeing people out supporting the runners and hearing the bands every half mile or so. I got chills from it several times. I left everything on the track and the last couple miles I pushed it with more than I thought I ever had in me. Then when I crossed the finish line I did my math wrong and thought I was 2 minutes over my goal and just about started crying because I tried so hard. But thankfully when I checked my time online I was closer to 2 minutes under my time. Woohoo! Thanks for giving me some tips along the way, it was definitely helpful.

Yours,
No longer Sickly Steven

Sickly Steven,
It's really good to hear that you achieved your goal in the half-marathon. I can't say for sure that I was responsible for getting you through the last 12.9 miles, but I'm pretty sure of it. You said to yourself, "I don't want to be like 'Noah the Dim' on race day, and so I'll prepare!"

Congratulations, Steven. Godspeed!
Johnny B.H.
