The “Alone” part gets me before a race when I am just standing around without knowing anyone, and after as well (unless my wife/kids have come to cheer me on.) But during the race, I always feel like I belong – surrounded by other people that are also running their own race. When I ran in NY, you could say something to the fellow runners nearby, and get some sort of response. IT made me feel like I was part of something.

GREAT finish! And gaining a memory to hang on to – that shows you ARENT alone out there running!
