Well, we're done. I can't really find a better way to put it than that. We got on the road a little before 9, made our way down the winding, beautiful, and dangerous Oregon highway, and by 11 we could see the ocean. A few minutes later we were running through the Road's End beach, and then it was over.
We had a nice little crowd for our finish. Brandon and I, our moms, Brandon's aunt, cousin, and grandma, John Wallace (from seejohnrun.com), Mrs. Wallace (not related to John, she was the woman we stayed with in Salem), a friend of Mrs. Wallace's, two reporters from the News Guard (the Lincoln City paper), and the random passerbys who enjoyed the spectacle. Brandon's grandma had an excellent sign made to commemorate our accomplishment.
The pictures will be up soon, as well as a longer final post. This is just to tell you that we're done, and to give me some time to collect my thoughts. It's an incredible feeling to complete something so incredibly hard, and for now we just want to live in the moment. So soon I'll post something more poetic and really consider what all this means. Until then, rest assured that we're done. |
