@katie.lusso: I had 0 intentions of running with the 4:10 pace group - but I had to stop and listen to this man’s pre-race pep talk as he prepared to lead these runners to their goal of completing 26.2 miles in 4:10. His words popped into my mind when things got tough. Shout-out to all the pace leads and volunteers at the race this weekend! @New York Road Runners @TCS New York City Marathon #nycmarathon #runtok #runtokcommunity

Have I ever run a marathon? No. Would I run a 4:10 just because of his pep talk? Yes. That’s amazing!

The pacer I followed told us “you might be feeling good at mile 10 and that’s normal but don’t pass me or I will pass you at mile 20. Stick with me and we’ll get to finish line together”

Well they are locked in my head now for my next marathon. My issue is less about being tired and more about still not figuring out how to prevent my cramps after 4 years of this
