Participant Highlight

At mile 23 of the Mt hood marathon I was really hurting and stopped to walk. A lady (complete stranger) came up from behind and gave me encouragement and said you can do this and continued to stay with me and run next to me. She was exactly what I needed to push through pain and exhaustion. What are the odds she also happened to be the bib # right before mine and we were caught in photos together almost wearing the same colors! What a great reminder of how kind and amazing runners are as people.
