  • Comments: There is something that I think is pretty profound that I was thinking of on the way home. In the book, "Born to Run", the author writes that we race, not to beat each other but to be with each other... that truly resonated with me today because of three different things that happened/people I saw. During my warm up, I ran into (almost literally, and by chance) Austin.

I got the opportunity to run with him a little while and it really helped relax me before the race. Usually, I'm pretty relaxed before an event, almost stoic, but for some reason this morning, I was antsy, and just being around him was very reassuring... he reminds me that this is a life-long deal, not just one event or one day or even one season.
