. . The Finish!....I don't care how you finish, how long you take to finish, what journey you took to get to the finish.. The Finish is emotional and it is something you will never forget! The finish to this race included a turn, a hill, and then another turn with the finish line about 100 yards ahead. At my point in the course the crowd was large, however PEOPLE WERENT JUMPING UP AND DOWN AND CHEERING. I was like "Hey Folks, we just ran 26.2 miles, get on your feet and open your mouths!!" If you are going to be at the final stretch, you can't just cheer for your 1 person that you came to see. You have an obligation to cheer for everyone!!! So that was kinda pitiful, but I didn't let it bother me. I started lifting my arms to encourage the crowd to get hype. I looked up that Hill that Maurya warned us about and said to myself "I'm from ATL this is nothing"...then said "But this is still some BS"..LOL Just before we turned the corner of the final stretch I turned to the lady running next to me and said..."If I don't see this finish line when we turn this corner..I QUIT" She let out an eek of a laugh (I could tell she had put her all into this race). We turned the corner and there it was THE FINISH
