Track and marriage go together like horse and carriage
Today is my 25th wedding anniversary, and Chris and I have a full day planned. I’d love to describe our wonderful marriage here, but it would take a book to do it justice — how my lovely sprintin’/shot-puttin’/discus-throwin’ wife and I have seen our love grow with masters track as a backdrop. Instead, I’d like to share a story of another track couple (slightly more accomplished). It’s the love story of the Stiners of New York state. Nine months after “meeting” on a letsrun.com message board, the running pair were wed.
Letsrun.com wrote:
“For a website whose motto is ‘Where Your Dreams Become Reality,'” we never thought we’d facilitate a marriage in a very small way, much less one in the same town we are in (the website is run out of Ithaca, NY). John, however, sounded like our spokesman (although we’re sure he wasn’t thinking of our motto at the time) when he said, “I don’t want to say it. It sounds crazy but it was a dream come true (getting married to Sarah).”
Enjoy their story while we savor our own special day.
