You are sooooo good, Karin. And I just shake my head when I look at Lou's pictures that he took while you were running. Looked like you were just out for a Monday morning stroll....

Congratulations on a great race!

Karin, thank you for the powerful RR. It's well worth the wait. I'm pretty envious of all the fun the RA/KR groups had. How did your pony tail hold up?

Ok, I must admit...I cried when I was reading this report. What an example of someone who invest the time to chase after the dream.

I so deeply admire you, my dear Deena Kastor in real life

Karin....I'm so happy for you. What a great race and what a great RR!

Mental preparation and execution is half the battle and you, my friend, have that nailed down!

I'm so glad I read your RR this morning as it is just what I need.

Holy Cow! You are so fast! I am in awe......

You are an icon in my world!!!!

I am also intriqued about the fact that you say you don't use a gps or heart monitor when training.

I am really, really slow and yet am considering buying my first garmin soon. Any words of wisdom for me

on that?

Great report and keep on chasing that rainbow!

Wow, just Wow. I knew you had something amazing planned, but this was unreal. I love the pictures of you with that big grin at 20 -- you made it look easy, even tho I know how hard it must have been.

I replied to your RR over on KR, but it just needs another ^5 over here! You are an excellent athlete, Karin. The amount of dedication you have for running is just incredible, and your pursuit of your dreams is admirable. You're a role model for us in the true art of a runner. Love the smiles!! How do you do that when you're running like that??

I said it before and I'll say it again....

Wow! Look at that even pacing! Look at that PACE! YOU ROCK! Awesome to see all your extremely hard work pay off - congratulations!

Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."
