A celebratory episode: Dimity chats with three women who all did in-person races the weekend of April 24-25.

Michelle San Antonio ran the Clamdigger 5-Miler in Westerly, RI, and embraced the tailwind to nab an elusive negative split; Ginny Ebben pushed herself the Cow Patty Classic 10K in Katy, TX to complete a solid training cycle; and Heather Reed was a first-time pacer at the Skedaddle Run Half Marathon in Sioux Falls, SD, and helped a struggling runner sprint across the finish line.

All three had downright jubilant days and post-race reports, which we thought would be fun to hear—and potentially inspire you to pin on a bib if you’re feeling healthy and ready to race.
