Decide that to run a trail race that is not to far from home this weekend in hopes to see what kind of shape I am in. It was fun yet a very challenging course with lots of rocks, trees, twists and turns along with two stream crossings. I showed up to just run and see what I could do and that was even easier to do since I didn't even bring a watch. The first 4 or so miles I just sat behind a guy that was running at a good clip and the goal was to see if I could hang on to him as long as possible. The course was very challenging and I would say it is more technical than the Sara Park 10 mile loop and more obsticals. Rocks, trees, roots, fallen trees, a log bridge, and a portion of repeat trail in which you dodged other runners. The other runner part was not the coolest but it was fun. I got past by one person and fell to 5th place which is a very respectable placing considering my traing limitations right now. Over had a great time and am feeling the pain of a hard race!!
