That's right, world, my man is a sexy as all get out marathoning man! Christopher's parents were kind enough to allow me to hitch a ride with them to Charleston Friday morning (I drove to their house late Thursday). We arrived around 5:30 and I was greeted with a very happy Boomer, and a little later, a very happy Christopher.
He was so nervous, whether he realized it or not! But he did fantastic!!! He finished all 26.2 miles and ran from charleston to north charleston while also getting a bit of a tour of the city! It was such an incredible feeling watching him accomplish a goal that he has been working towards for several months now. I was so proud, anxious, and in awe of his endurance and strength. It was so fun watching his family be so supportive as well... And basically it was a great experience to watch him cross the finish line with people that love him watching on. I love him so much!
I have realized more and more that I have been blessed with a man that is strong, intelligent, and passionate. We bicker at times because we have different ideals on certain things, but I know he will support me, and he knows I will support him. And in the end, that is what I care about. I feel lucky... But I also feel dreadfully sad that I had to say goodbye to him this morning after spending a wonderful weekend with him! It gets harder each time and I think he has gotten used to the fact that I cannot say "I love you" or "goodbye" because I'm just trying not to cry!!
All in all what a great weekend being loved on, loving on him and celebrating his accomplishments!!
