Today was a really special day.  I got to surprise one good friend by showing up at her post race BBQ, and surprised another good friend by cheering her on as she was heading toward the finish line.  The best part of my day was seeing the look on Amanda's face when she saw me, and her husband, and other good friends cheering her on.  I know today was a big day for her, and it means a lot to me to support my friends.  In addition, another great friend was documenting the whole day with her camera, and it was awesome seeing her in her element.  I'm grateful for having such supportive and loving friendships.
