Still.
don't.
have.
the.
words.
The tears? yes.
The words? no.
and
bawled. [I reminded myself she needed to be home for Mother's Day on Sunday for her FIVE beautiful children & super awesome hubby]
then. . .
bawled. again.
You don't even want to know what happened when I
* a card [like the best card ever]
* a donation to SC
* HER "running sucks" shirt I borrowed the last two miles.
* and foot rub awesomeness.
So WE got it.
Six minute intervals and we had it with three minutes to spare.
Thank you for flying here to be with me. I'm pretty sure I've know her FOREVER but technically, five months.
Thank you for being the social media woman. I loved the interval check-ins [tweets, texts, emails]. You knew just when I needed them.
I adore you Dawn.
You got me to 100.

What a great post, and what a great friend. You two are both incredible. The pictures are great, and my favorite part has to be the label .... "she's the shiznit". That about sums it up. You two make us all smile.

Kleenex should have been a sponsor of this EVENT!
I love this post. the dream team!
Blondes united. The pictures are great. The last 2, well yeah it says it all right?
Like Steven Tyler would say: "it's a beautiful thing" Friendship is a special and precious thing.

My first chance to say congrats to you - what an inspiration. Thank you!
Every time I read one of your post my eyes fill...going over to follow Dawn....
I need to stop being reduced to a blubbering mess. Dawn was such a life-line... wow :) The two of you are over-the-top inspirational. I love this :)
Damn you--I'm running out of kleenex! You two blonde bombshells are truly inspirational--the friendship that evolved in such a short time is unreal, beautiful and touching.
biggest fan of YOU BOTH!!
I'm sure she feels just as blessed to have you in her life! Friends like that are hard to come by! :)

Thank you.
I read. And Re-read & re-read your email.
All. Night. Long.
That is one amazing friendship! Gives me chills. Congrats, again.
Beautiful friendship!! Did you guys meet through running? Blogging? If so...SOOOO COOOLL!
I am going to be thinking of you as I hit my 26.2 this weekend...!
This post is so insanely sweet!
And I am heading over to follow Dawn right now!
H love. Yes. Met at Tucson marathon in Dec 10'. All from blogging.
Go get that 26.2 woman!!
So yes, it's late. And I'm reading this post and crying again. Caroline nailed it. We'll have to hit up Kleenex next time around as a sponsor. :)
One of the best weekends ever. I can't thank you enough, praise you enough, admire you enough. Love you.
Good times. All except those swollen pregnant ankles... ;)
So glad that Dawn was able to be there for you! You had a huge amount of family, friends, and well-wishers to support you, but I believe that Dawn was the only one there that truly understood all that you (and your body) were going through physically and even mentally.
I was privileged to get to meet her and think that she is as real as it gets.
Hooray for friends!
xoxo
Awesome. Can't wait to hear about next years run! You are planning to do this again, right...
wow.
the last two lines of this post are tear jerkers fer sure.

As I watched your clip on Tv all I could think is how beautiful this was! Inside and out. YOu are amazing!!!
What a touching post...once again, you brought me to tears. I'm with Caroline, Kleenex should have sponsored this event :)
Dawn is indeed amazing...the two of you have something very special, as you are both very special women!
I keep bringing you up in talking to my hubs about running and what you did. Now I can add in the super awesome support you had not just from family but FRIENDS.
...still in awe!

All perfect! I still don't have the words as well.
You can't buy a friend like that!
Standing. Slow Clap, Medium Clap, Fast Clap, cheers for Dawn!
So awesome! congrats! What an great friend too.

Totally love the last line too,
I made it to 98, you got me to 100. A memory that will last forever. Nice! (reminds me of my, "got my to 26.2 PR friend" a few years back. I've sense run new PRs, but that one is very special)
Beyond awesome!!! Can't believe all that hard work you did and on a treadmill to top it all off!
That is awesome! I am still so amazed you ran that far for that long. :-D
She sounds amazing! So glad to hear that you had someone to inspire you while you were so busy inspiring everyone else! hooray for your strong finish and for good friends!
I got chills reading this.
Should have used Train - Hey Soul Sister... just sayin ;)
Great job both of you, I LOVED her updates and was hoping she would be reading what we were typing ;)
Congratulations... you totally rock!!!!
