by Ellen Losew For the life of me, I cannot come up with any sort of clever, cutesy name for the people with whom I spent this past weekend – Rac-backers? Raccoon Crew? The 101st milers? Meh... Several of us did a short run on the trails Friday before RR100. From left, Adam Stauffer, Shane Naugher, ...

I have this awesome pink Idiots Running Club tech shirt that says "#EyeOnThePrize" across the back. This year, the prize I have my eye on is a sub-5 time at the Bass Pro marathon, which would be a 45-minute improvement over my 2013 race.

Fortunately we all survived w/a great ...
