A truly amazing accomplishment, particularly given all of the challenges. I love the pictures of your happy face at the finish line. It is amazing that you are going to take on another marathon so soon. Thank you for keeping the blog going because I have loved it and learned so much. We can’t wait to celebrate you in person.❀️❀️

Hi Claire!

I have been following your blog since the beginning, and even though we don't know each other, I felt very emotional reading this race recap. I just wanted to let you know that you, and your marathon journey, are a truly inspiring! You must be so proud of what you achieved! Congrats!

I'm thrilled to know that there will be more blog posts, because it is something I was really looking forward to reading every Monday morning, as I'm reading you from Europe. Your blog made me want to start one of my own... Maybe next year if I get to enter the Berlin Marathon, who knows?

Congrats again, sending you loads of love for your post-race recovery!

Laura
