Definitely having the crowd support helped. More than the crowd, though, was the actual participants who cheered me on and inspired me. Those of us in the back of the pack are more talkative, supportive, and friendly - we're all about the party and less about the competition that is found closer to the middle and front of the pack . . . we all had a GREAT time together :). You'll be great!!! I also think writing quotes on my arm was hugely helpful!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15432550406970940247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076179970011255850.post-17091412879959739742011-08-16T09:43:13.574-04:002011-08-16T09:43:13.574-04:00I am so looking forward to your pictures from this...I am so looking forward to your pictures from this race! Hooray for finishing just behind Al Roker - that's something to be proud of. I hope when I do a race there is someone famous that I can either be close to or beat. I know a friend who did a race with Bachelor Jake in it and she actually beat him! haha! <br /><br />Funny enough, my resident assistant from freshman year in college ran this race too! <br /><br />Do you think the crowds had an effect on your running? I keep telling myself that when I run F4F the crowds will keep me motivated to keep trucking when I don't feel like I can move another inch.~* Jenn *~https://www.blogger.com/profile/07541103665242464789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076179970011255850.post-70800627011193439832011-08-16T03:46:23.764-04:002011-08-16T03:46:23.764-04:00@ Holly - No, I didn't meet any bloggers on th...@ Holly - No, I didn't meet any bloggers on this trip.
