We have finally reached the end of our work weeks hump day and I am gearing up to hit another trail run in another state. My training has not gone as I would have liked... to many things going on and causing broken up runs to get mileage in, but I will complete the task at hand. I will be heading South Friday after work to pound my feet on another new trail that will present a different setting and obstacles to push my body through- a couple creek crossings and larger hills (1600 ft of elevation change). I will have a support crew, okay one person (Ryan), but that is more than I usually have. This will allow me to think, prepare, and run the race and not have to worry about all of the other logistics involved with traveling across the country. There are far more runners at this one, so I plan to tag along in the back of the lead pack and let them carry me to finish- but I will run my race and finish strong. Thankfully there will not be any cactus' on this trail so I don’t fear those prickly little boogers. I will have more pictures and an update by Monday. Talk to you all after the race!
