Sometimes I’m exhausted just from watching on TV. If it’s a Sunday race and I’m watching, I’m on the couch with breakfast, totally being lazy.

UGH — I know EXACTLY what you mean. It was driving me crazy that they had so few updates…after the 30K mark, I had absolutely no idea where he was until I saw him cross the finish, and let me tell you, it was NERVE-WRACKING!

Haha, I know what you mean…it can be SO exciting just to watch a race! It was such a cool experience.

That’s awesome that you got to run with Christine for so long — I honestly didn’t even think about doing that! Next time, I’ll definitely be better prepared. :)

Totally! I couldn’t believe how emotional I was getting just watching total strangers come in…I knew EXACTLY what they were feeling.

Yay! So glad you got to catch Phil finishing his race — that must have been so exciting!
