Day off running today but I officially entered the 10K trail race with a buddy.  Not sure what to expect since I've never run on a trail, but it should be fun and it aligns with the easy week I have planned next week.  Jan 23 is the race date.

Good luck on the trail race!

Story: My wife, myself and my two kids volunteered to help with "The Dirt Monster" 5mi trail race in Pittsburgh. I was thinking about running it but it was shortly after my first Half and the race director/organizer who was the director at my wife's internship scared me off a little by telling me that it would "seriously spank me," and that most runners wouldn't expect the spanking. He must have said spanked 20 times during the race, I kid you not. He'd come around and check on us at our stations along the course and he'd keep asking all of us, including my 10 year old son, if it looked like the course was spanking everyone. I told him all but the first 5 but they were flying too fast for me to really see if their butts were red. He seemed satisfied.

So...I hope you do great in your first trail race and don't get "spanked." BTW, which is worse, getting spanked or chicked? That will be my thought to ponder as I fall asleep tonight!

Man, I'll have to be on the lookout for the spanking guy. As for the course, I hope it knows I have a sensitive butt and takes it easy on me.
