This reframing of races as “festivals” is one I will definitely carry with me. As I’ve been preparing for Boston next year, the word I’ve kept coming back to is “celebration,” and your beautiful reflection brings just the right words.
Huh... see also the close of the RCL epistle assignment this week. “I do not consider that I have laid hold of it, but one thing I have laid hold of: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal, toward the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus.”

Congrats for making it! The cutoff was a heartbreaker for many this year.
Thank you! Yes, I definitely don't take it for granted.

A call is never gonna be an end point...
Ain't that the truth!
1. The snail is my spirit animal.
2. Your Wonder Woman costume beats all!
Thank you! I felt good in it.
Priorities rather than goals--that’s a big mental and emotional help for me. Thank you.
Me too--so glad it dropped into my lap--for truly I'd never had the thought in quite that way until I wrote it!
I definitely want to do the Pemberton festival someday!
Ooh, let me know if you do!
