Attempted to run the half marathon course today by myself... It didn't turn out so well as I got lost.. Half the race is in the dirt- and I kept making wrong turns and getting lost... So I kind of made my own course up-running out in the hills and dirt... Ran about half in the dirt and half on pavement... Avg pace was 7:55 for 14... Not the best pace-but I was happy considering the terrain... (It was actually kind of peaceful running in the desert-my pace was super slow-but I felt relaxed) I normally don't run out there by myself... I get scared of running into a bobcat or a scary guy-but I had my mace today... Watch out! |
