When I crossed the finish line of the Rothman 8k today, I wanted to do two things immediately: pee and cry.

Instead, I called my friends who supported me to tell them that I did it.
While on the phone with Madeline, I briefly panicked. I was really tired and saw that [...]
It is 5:49am. It is 23 degrees outside.
In less than half an hour, I will be on my way to my “corral” to wait for the start of the Rothman 8k. I am terrified.
I had a slight breakdown yesterday at the Expo when I went to pick up my bib. It was [...]
Please, make yourself comfortable. We haven’t seen you around in a bit and you know how enthusiastic we all are when you drop in… In fact, we tend to be so excited to see you that each of us wants to spend some quality time with you.
