Jordan Hasay’s friend cheering for her (by Ryan Bickerstaff)

My Hood to Coast teammate Meg shared this video with our van during the relay. If you need a running mantra, just watch this video of Alexi Pappas cheering for Jordan Hasay during a 10K and choose your favorite.

I told myself, “YOU ARE A MERMAID!” over and over during my super-rainy 22-miler on Sunday. It totally worked.

I also like, “YOU’RE HUUUUUGE! YOU’RE GIGAAAAAAANTIC!”
