A little help from my friend

So...about a week ago last Saturday, I had one of those moments that you always hear about, but most of us rarely experience. I am currently training for a triathlon that I have done the last two years in a row and due to the circumstances of the last year, my training did not kick in solid until about 10 weeks ago. I was out on a 6 mile run and about 4 miles into it I started to feel pretty tired. It was hot and I was working pretty hard. I was starting to feel like walking and typically, when the mind wants to give up, that's when your body begins to give up. Now, I think about Blake everyday. I see a movie I know he would of liked or a song comes on that we used to listen to, but at that moment when I was feeling my worst, I was too busy concentrating on not slowing down. It was strange but as I was going along I felt as if a surge of energy had coursed through me. I wasn't tired anymore, in fact my pace quickened and I sustained it right until the end of my run. Now some people don't believe in this stuff, but I have to say that I truly felt that someone was helping me along. Believe what you want, but I think that Blake, as always, had my back. Along the way I felt my eyes well up a bit and I thanked him. It was truly a special moment. I'm just glad he's still checking in on me.
