Istanbul Marathon 2014

This picture resonates deeply with my time abroad. I ran the Istanbul Marathon almost a year ago today and still feel a sense of excitement from the experience.

It was a pretty surreal moment when you are out on the Bosphorus bridge with tens of thousands of people and could actually feel the bridge swaying from the weight of all the people running.
