The signs along the side of the road during a race.
I have to agree with the author - the one redeeming experience that I can come up with from my first marathon 2 years ago was being able to run the last 200 yards or so with my then-7 year old son. Seeing he and the other kids cheering me on at the finish helped alleviate a small portion of the searing pain that I was feeling in my legs.
They didn't know or care that I had just finished nearly 45 minutes slower than my projected time. They didn't know or care that I had walked a good portion of the last 6 miles due to muscle cramps in my legs. They didn't know or care that I had just had a Justin Timberlake song stuck in my head for the last 3 consecutive hours. All they knew was that their dad had just finished a 4 1/2 race and they were pretty darn proud.
That, plus the fact that now they could help themselves to the seemingly unlimited supply of Gatorade that awaited us at the finishers table.
