Finisher's Medal Day

Today is Finisher's Medal Day. (Note the metallic colors!)

 While this day is generally reserved for marathon racers,something about it screamed out to me. Everyone in life is running towards something. When you are young, you're running towards that high school diploma. Then maybe college degree after that. Some of us run toward careers and others run toward a life of fun and travel and freedom. Some run toward love and marriage and a family. You race to buy an awesome car, or a nice house or even that pair of jeans that fit just right. Everyone runs toward one goal or another and hopefully they reach the finish line. Maybe not in your preferred time, and maybe you had to take a few detours along the way. But every goal, every accomplishment makes you a finisher, whether anyone else sees it or not.
