I ran the Atlanta Women's 4 Miler on Saturday. Going up one of the final hills of the race a woman I'd been passing back and forth on my run/walk intervals stopped me to say I'd been bringing her so much joy, and that every time we passed each other she knew we were going to finish together. Her last 4 miles had been in an hour and half, and she absolutely crushed that Saturday by more than 20 minutes.

I was struggling through the last 200 meters of my interval workout today, and remembering her words really helped me get through it on pace. I love that even back of the pack runners can still inspire and support one another.

Thank you, kind stranger in the blue, hope to see you again at another race!

Walked up to the gate at 4:22, boarding was supposed to start at 4:30. A few seconds before I got there they announced final boarding call, and were already on group 8 when I walked up. I was supposed to be in group 1. I would've been screwed on overhead space on a full flight.

Edit: pilot just announced they were trying to leave early but now we're waiting on 10 people to get off a plane that just landed so we're not even going to leave early now.
