Yesterday, my 35 year old son who lost ~ 60 pounds last year completed the Houston marathon. It was his first marathon since high school, and a PR of 4:10. I drove him to the starting line at 5:30am, met him at mile 6, 18, 23, and the finish line. His wife, kids, mom, and I were all marathon boosters showing up around the course, like thousands of others. One family I kept running into called it a race within a race, where boosters are running around the course supporting their runners. We all need “life boosters”; individuals that step up for us in challenging times. No special skills required, just willingness to BE THERE for others. Try it and see the difference you make in your life and the life of someone else.
