      Signing up for races always keeps you motivated. And don't worry, Alissa, we won't let you get off-track. :) Just keep running smart to stay injury-free.

      I have to say, Run DMC is one of the best motivations ever! That and a good running partner to push you and keep you honest. My spring races are all signed up for... as soon as I get my bonus in March I'm signing up for Erie and Columbus and the Goofy Challenge. No excuses :-)

      One helluva job last night! Great splits and way to push yourself after two hard days at the Y.
      You will tear up your 16 on Saturday and it will be nice for you to have company for at least those last 10!
