Personal:

Have been active my whole life, but turned my focus to running in 2006 after deciding to run a marathon.  I really enjoy the training aspect and staying healthy, but mileage has been on the decline over the past 3 years due to work commitments, so focus has turned away from races and more on just staying fit enough to still enjoy getting out.  Moved from Utah to Texas in October 2016 with my wife and 3 month old babe.

500E/1300S/600E and back.  Gonna run the PC Trail series half-marathon this weekend so takin it easy.  I got an entry for really cheap, so decided why not?  Definitely not super prepared, but should be a good workout and nice fall scenery.

Ran the PC trail half today.  I got a discounted entry last week, so decided to back off this week and use this as a decent workout and a good chance to see the fall colors in Park City.  The course was pretty tuff with about 1,600 feet of climbing, lots of switchbacks and my Garmin measured it .5 miles long.  

I thought I would be more in the 7:45 avg. pace range, but I didn't have the endurance/stamina to hold the pace thru the rocky trails and climbs and I really lost it during the last 4 miles.  I've been doing pretty big bike rides on the weekends and running consistently throughout the week, but I think I really needed some "long runs" to do well on a course like this.  Also, my legs were surprisingly stiff after backing off this week, so maybe I should have stretched more?

Overall was a good experience/workout.  The staff did an incredible job marking the course and maintaining the aid stations.  They were also a great cheering section each time someone approached an aid station...so enthusisastic!  I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to race on trails.
