June 29: Happiness is a friend who is always there for you

[image error]

This is my friend Mandi – I’ve written about her before many times. Mandi talks more than I do (although she will argue this), and she is an amazing woman. Today Mandi flew into Brisbane to be my support person for the Gold Coast Marathon on Sunday.

So, we shopped, we talked, we napped, we talked, we ate, we talked, we laughed, we talked, we made plans, we talked. It was a long day and we covered a lot of ground. It was a fantastic way to detach myself from thinking about having to run 42.2km on the weekend.

Mandi’s friendship makes me happy. And I am always grateful.
