I’ll be straight up
with you that this marathon is hanging over my head and I am ready for it to be
done.
For those of you
not from Minnesota there has recently been a lot of drama associated with the
Twin Cities Marathon and the group Black Lives Matter. Black Lives Matter is organizing a protest
that was supposed to interfere with the finish line of the marathon. No one
wants to hear that the week of the race.
Marathon running is not something you do on a whim and some people have
trained their whole life for this event.
Why on earth would you want to ruin that for someone? In a press conference this afternoon, the Governor
and the St. Paul Police Department were quoted in saying that they will
prosecute anyone planning to interfere with the race or its participants.
Thank goodness. This is an athletic competition, not a political forum.
For me this race is
not about a PR, but simply about finishing strong and determined. I want nothing more than to cross the finish line and see my friends and family!
Please keep Bailey,
Katie, and I in your thoughts on Sunday morning. We will need all of the positive vibes J
