Strip: dealing with epoxy runs

I was so happy with the wetout of the glass on both my hull and deck, but subsequent processing have left some runs/sags to deal with. At this point, I've got one thin fill coat of epoxy on both hull and deck. Some areas need a bit more epoxy to fill the weave, others are completely filled, and then there are areas with some sagging from trying to fill the coming riser, and the stems. My questions are.... Do I need to finish fill coats before attempting to sand out runs/sags, or should I try to sand on them now? Any good ideas for how to go about sanding out runs? Everything was going so well up to this point, but the wheel's seem to have fallen off...
