Carrie, that was exactly what I needed right now! Thank you so much! Also, I'm writing down your phrases and plan to pull them out when things get tough. My longest run ended up being 18 (with a 9.5...

Okay, I'm just going to be honest - I'm looking for a little encouragement here. I'm kind of freaking out about the races next week. My training has been plagued with problems - two moves (one...

Well, that's helpful! What general time is everyone meeting? - I'll definitely look for everyone (the #runicot shirts should help!). How is the 10K set up? I have my corral placement for the 1/2 and...
