They give me an idea of where my strengths and weaknesses are, but also motivate and inspire me. I thrive off the energy of being surrounded by other runners, the event atmosphere, and the excitement of trying to better my time at that particular distance. Good luck & have a great time!!

It was so fun to challenge myself in a way I never thought was possible. It was so cool to be part of the local running community. I couldn't get enought of it. Every race is a gift. Enjoy the journey! The first year that I started running, I fell in love with “racing”.

I still have issues with starting off too fast in races, which I hate! If only I had the will power (or smarts) to hold back in the beginning, I would actually have energy to finish strong or at least keep a good pace toward the end. I recently had too much iced tea before a run which got me really dehydrated, but I definitely learned from that! Good luck on all of your races!!
