It just shows, running and racing are about so much more than time, and when you see that firsthand and have fun running your slowest race, it really puts it in perspective. This really warmed my heart, and I'm so glad you girls had fun in the rain and didn't give up. Hope I get to see you soon - miss you!!Coreyhttp://runnerscookie.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6626288962348691125.post-65783076177263567652011-08-10T08:07:27.755-04:002011-08-10T08:07:27.755-04:00Sorry it took me forever to comment!

I've raced in downpours a few times and it wasn't super fun at all - I hate when my shoes get filled with water and get all squishy. <br /><br />I did feel extra badass after finishing those races, though, and it always makes for a good story!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6626288962348691125.post-34517497607688859772011-08-08T18:17:53.090-04:002011-08-08T18:17:53.090-04:00Thanks a lot, jerk!!!

And I think it's awesome that you finished the entire distance. I always knew you could do it. :) I also love that mantra from your spin instructor. It's such a great way to look at things. I think I'm going to start using it. <br /><br />Also - I know that you're going to crush two hours next week!<br /><br />And even though I'm so hurt and sad that you cut me out of that picture... I have to admit it made me laugh. :)Laurenhttp://www.healthontherun.netnoreply@blogger.com
