The coveted shirt and medal!
I was exhausted, my hip hurt (it's better today after a constant barrage of Ibuprofen) and my calves were achy, but I finished! My goal was to finish in 2:30; I finished in 2:34, so I wasn't too far off my mark. I don't know that I want to run a marathon because I can't imagine just running for 4+ hours, but this REALLY MATTERED to me. It was an accomplishment and it was a test of my strength, will and endurance. I didn't even stop and while that may sound insignificant....it's not! YAY GOD:o)
I'm sure I'm the least of people that Sheldon Martinez BKA DJ Saxwell would count among friends, but we knew each other to speak and chat, and his life affected the masses. Yes, most knew him from his magnificent work on the ones and two, but he also had an infectious smile and was pleasant to be around. He will be missed by those he knew and by those who knew him. RIP DJ SAXWELL... Well done, Rattler, well done.
