Thanks, ladies. I'll keep repeating to myself that I am a runner. I will try it for Ironman. The run is not just the gatekeeper to the finish line and means that more miles and hours are behind you than ahead of you, it's FUN. Do not just look forward to the marathon because running sounds so much better than another mile on your bicycle, look forward to it because running IS FUN. I LOVE TO RUN. YAY RUNNING!

Crankin, don't worry about the 5k. Just show up and have a good time. 11:30 miles are still running, they will still get you to the finish, you will still be awesome, and we will still love you.

Good luck to kacie, GLC, and anyone else racing this weekend! Looking forward to the reports.

Bike Chick, looking forward to you checking in tonight after your race, too.
