Marie Murray and me after a wonderful 20-mile run with the HHH team, just weeks before the 2013 Boston Marathon.
A couple weeks ago I was on vacation, getting in my morning run. I was on lap 28 of 40, trying to run 16 miles on a ship deck in the middle of the ocean. At one point I found myself completely alone, the sunrise right in front of me and the gentle mist of ocean spray in my face. The sound of the waves intermeshed with the sound of my feet put me in an almost trance-like state. My thoughts turned to all the good things that make up my life. Of course, Marie Murray is one of those things. For the first time in weeks, when I thought of her I smiled instead of cried. How she would have loved to run mid-January in a tank top and shorts with the sun beating down on her shoulders. I tried to put into words my feelings for my dear friend.
