I ran the last 5 miles of the race so I know all of the out and back parts you're talking about - way to push through!

I'm going to bookmark this post and read it whenever I'm feeling like just putting my run off, or dreading the run. I want that same feeling of pure joy on Nov 5!

They prep you for what to eat/drink/wear, etc...but all the support alone the sidelines is by far the best part!
