Tracy and I spent 17 of my 20 miles together. We chatted and caught up, shared stories and talked about our plans for our upcoming marathons... While she did not finish out the last 3 miles with me (since she was smart and stuck with her training plan), she was there with me in spirit (AND VIA TEXT)... texting me along the way to keep me encouraged and motivated... texting with me afterwards while I took her advice and tried out my first ice bath... her friendship and support apparent! (By the way... ice baths are no joke and do help out immensely in the right circumstances!)
