Another reason I wanted to run 100 miles is because I have a daughter who is transitioning to adulthood, and two young nieces who, according to my sister, look up to me like I were Pink. Yes, the singer. I wanted to show them that it’s okay to dream big dreams and follow your passion, no matter how uncertain the outcome; that the joy is in the pursuit; and the reward for having done it is in knowing that you can, and you did.
