(And also the retweet -- at the very least, that probably helped all of your BRC runners put a face to your stories. I'm also imagining Mer looking at you like, "I don't know this person that Erin's freaking out about, but I'll try to share her excitement and not look at her like she has three heads..." lol). Looking forward to how things evolve for both of us, both in 2014 and the coming years!

Anyway, seriously, I am SO happy and SO proud of you, Austin. You have been working your tail off and whittling away your time, minute by minute, for the past year, and as you know, when I learned your time, I freaked the f--- out (and Meredith can attest to this!). You have had such a good training year, and a ton of wonderful PR and mileage/milestone accomplishments, and you're just getting started. I am so excited to see how things evolve for you over the years to come, but for now, keep celebrating MCM, man. you EARNED it!!!!!!! xoxoErinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09695890488184466585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2925453101516418465.post-76934042129582835812013-10-30T23:40:09.754-07:002013-10-30T23:40:09.754-07:00Thanks so much, Steven!

Hopefully one of these days, we'll be on the same side of the country at the same time (and before April 2015)!

All of your positive vibes must've helped out (in addition to the reminder at mile 20 that, "If Ken can fight through hamstring tightness to clock a sub-3:05 finish, surely I can too.")!Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03363299363080626703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2925453101516418465.post-47926146830465355562013-10-30T22:46:41.945-07:002013-10-30T22:46:41.945-07:00Thanks Pete!
