Do not underestimate the intimacy of running, and the people with whom you share your miles. – Doris Brown Heritage

One of the things I love about running is the camaraderie that comes along with running races. Sometimes I’ll find myself chatting with people around me (in longer races) or running into people that I haven’t seen since college!

And we’re all there (well, except for maybe the front-of-the-pack elites 😄) to test against ourselves and to see what we’re made of. We support and encourage each other. I love it.
