Something funny happened to me today and I had to share. Have you ever been driving in your car and found yourself behind a person who has bumper stickers on the back of their car that say 26.2, 13.1 etc.? Well I am one of those people. I have three such stickers on the back of my car. I have a 26.2, 13.1 and a 70.3 stuck to the back of my bumper. I love to see the stickers when I am approaching my car but often times I forget about them until today.
I pulled up to a light and this car pulled up next to me. The gentleman in the car motioned for me to roll down my window. As I began to roll the window down (electronically not manually) I thought to myself this guy needs direction. He smiled and said, "let me ask you something, the 26.2 sticker is for a run correct"? I said "yes". He then went on to ask me what the 13.1 sticker was for and I told him it was for a half marathon. Then he said, "so what is the 70.3"? I told him that would be a Half Ironman! He smiled and then asked me, "so did you do all of those" I laughed and said yes I did! He responded with, "Wow that is amazing ... good for you!"
This total stranger's comments totally made my day. So often I don't give myself enough credit for what I have accomplished or for the finish lines that I have crossed. And this gentleman reminded me that I have done a lot in my life to be very proud of! Thank you sir!
