FURTHER
I could talk about and recount the moments and memories from FURTHER every second of every day for the rest of my life. I could try and pull out each tiny thread, each conversation, each emotion, every inside joke. I might recount what it meant to me. I might find a way to encompass a lifetime lived over 6 days. And I might, for myself, find a way to preserve all of the things that added up to being the most remarkable, special, life-changing magic of FURTHER.
But I won’t be doing that here. And for many reasons which I wrote many paragraphs about and then deleted. I don’t need to share that either.
I could. But I won’t. Instead, I want to go bask in the joy and beauty that I got to be a part of. I want to go think about how special it is that hundreds HUNDREDS of people poured their heart and soul into this project. I want to share with giddiness to those who ask with genuine interest “what was it like?”. I want to go text my teammates and check on their recovery, plot our next adventures. I want to let myself be carried by the accomplishment of running for 6 days. I want to feel empowered by the impact we had on women’s sport. I want to do all of this and so that is what I am going to do.
