COMMENTS	Team Utopia is just that if you make it. I've met so many wonderful people and have improved my running so much since I've joined. I consider joining the team the greatest thing I have ever done for myself. You get out of it however much you put into it. The work is easy when you're surrounded by so many great and supportive people.
