Perspective on running
If someone had told me three months ago that I would ever be thinking “Ooh - a half marathon with (allegedly) 2700′ of elevation gain? Great! I could use a break!” I’d have called you crazy, but here I am. I just signed up for the last in the Cougar Mountain Trail Running Series from Seattle Running Company. I’m really looking forward to it. And all I need to do is come close to my pace for the trail run I did in Fairbanks and I’d be setting a new course record for the 13 miler! Which makes me think this is going to be a tough, tough race. But still - I did 19.5 last weekend and haven’t run under 14 on a weekend in over a month so at least right now, I really am looking forward to it.
