If you ever sked a NorCal trip, see if you can line it up with a trail race. Yes I climbed the ladder, of course! There was no other option. :)Meg Go Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707890742715926971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-39733404573016913532017-07-26T15:42:50.173-04:002017-07-26T15:42:50.173-04:00That was nice she helped you.

That meant a lot and I feel like that doesn't always happen in other sports, but it's the beauty of running. All of your pictures are really gorgeous, and I'm glad you had fun and were able to do the race because you were so doubtful a few months ago when you had the glute/knee issues! So glad you got to do a race as a part of your vacation, too.

There's all kinds of distances out there, so no need to run 100 miles to enjoy a trail race. 30k was just the right amount of challenge for me right now. I honestly can't believe my back didn't start hurting...

Paul had a little adventure in the town of Stinson Beach while I was running. First he got a big breakfast at a cafe, then he went to the library to do some work on the computer and fill out some post cards for our family. He was walking back to the finish when I finished. At the top of the Dipsea I texted him my ETA was 11:45 but I finished early so he missed it! I was a little sad because I wanted him to see me running so strong, but it's okay.Meg Go Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707890742715926971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-47553692877546262552017-07-26T10:30:14.640-04:002017-07-26T10:30:14.640-04:00Oh you will be awesome!

I did struggle with the "stay in the mile you're in" goal, but the more the miles ticked by, the easier that was for me to do.

I listen to the Ten Junk Miles podcast all the time, which is about ultra running, but those crazies are doing 100 and 200 miles. I don't have the motivation for that, but you've given me inspiration to find something I can do that will be beautiful like this was! I love hearing about how emotional you were, I get emotional sometimes even on my little local trails, so I can't even imagine the feelings you had. You did amazing!Laura Fixicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00319221434446492724noreply@blogger.com
