Chicago Marathon 10-10-10

On 1-10-10 I ran the Disney Marathon in Orlando, Florida.  I did not think I could ever accomplish such a feat, but I practiced and trained and learned how to overcome doubt and pain.  On 10-10-10, I ran the Chicago Marathon and came home to do what I never imagined I would ever do.  I raised money for GUA Africa and I accomplished a previously unattainable goal.  Around the 10th mile, I ran past the condominium building where I had purchased my first home and I looked up at my balcomy with sadness, shame and some release...suddenly, out of the right corner of my eye, I saw a sign that said "RUN STEVE RUN!!!".  It was not for me, but I took the message and ran!!!! I am home.
