From Emily

Dragon boat coach Ilana is getting back into running so told her I would post this. Emily sent it to me before my two 5ks this fall. Good luck at Boston Emily!

I saw this and though of you! “It starts with the simple desire to lose a few pounds or scratch off a bucket list item. We begin nervously, but as the layers of doubt and fear and fat are shed, the magic of the run sets in. Over the miles, we stir our souls, open our hearts, sharpen our minds, and strengthen our bodies. As we break down what was, we allow our best self to shine through. This completely predictable, yet always powerful story begins again each day when another woman laces up, dusts off her heart, and says ‘I’m going for a run.’”
