Teresa showed what running community is all about. This weekend she paced the 4:50 group in Fargo, her first time pacing a full marathon. Yes, she checked off another state in her 50 state quest, but this one wasn't about her.

In the middle of a heatwave, she chose to give her miles to others- steady, calm, encouraging. Not every race is for ourselves and I love that my athletes give back through pacing, volunteering, timing, and lifting others up. Teresa did exactly that.

Do you use pacers when you race? It can be helpful for some!

This picture captures joy. The joy of showing up, working hard, and the joy of a TWENTY MINUTE PR.

On a tough trail half marathon course, she powered through climbs, flew through the descents (or maybe slid through the mud....) and snagged 2nd in her age group.

We joked post race:
"The climbs hurt during the race, and the descents hurt after."

Totally worth it. Great reminder to all of us - get out there and have fun!
