A delightful piece of inspiration!

My daughter has epilepsy and for the month of November I was raising money for the Epilepsy Foundation of America -- running 65 miles for the 65 million people affected by epilepsy. I was on my final run. I needed 2 and some change miles to reach my goal - easy peasy right? I was listening to The Bread Box on audible and it was NO coincidence that right at the 2 mile buzz from my watch was the story about Jane taking a 5 mile run. She was talking about hitting her 2 miles right when I did. Her body was fatigued and she wanted to stop even though she hadn't completed her goal for the day. I was experiencing the same thing -- I was still about half a mile from home and had just about completed my goal so I wanted to stop. I knew that I would be disappointed but I was telling myself that it didn't really matter, did it? I could finish my goal out by walking the rest of the way. But Jane's story kept me going. In fact it made me run faster. At the beginning of November I couldn't run 1 mile without stopping and I was averaging about 10 minute miles. On my last run, while I only ran 2.61 miles, I ran my fastest mile of 7.26. And it felt great. Thank you, Jane, for that inspiration that made me exceed my goal with pride.
