Race: Spokane Happy Girls Run (13.1 Miles) 02:14:32, Place overall: 61, Place in age division: 12

Total Distance

13.10

Course changed from two years ago to add three more miles of trail running - that became a bit technical. Many up's and down's - my legs felt trashed by the time I reached pavement at mile 10.20 - I did indeed walk the last three hills in those three miles. Hardest run I have done to date, but feeling so acomplished! Trail Running is not for the faint at heart. There were 260 participants, so I am happy to have placed 61st without training on trails. Twice this summer while camping apparently wasn't enough :)

Congrats on running a strong effort at a tough race! Hope you felt good during the run. Yeah, trail running is definitely different than roads...I like the roads and the rhythm you get into.

Thanks Jeff! It was good to be out there - so beautiful, but for my schedule and time of life, road running for me! I agree with the rhythm on the road for sure. I did sign up for the Zeitgeist half marathon the first weekend in November - hope to be under two hours :)
