Beginning Once Again

So, in a moment of motivation, I signed myself up for the Slackers Half Marathon. You got it, the Slackers are coming. The date is June 25th and here's something rather interesting ... the entire race is downhill. Starting at 10,630 and ending at 8400 feet ... should prove to be a rather interesting race. I'm actually excited about this race, and granted, I have a lot of work ahead of me, but this past weekend when I went hiking and trail running got my motivational juices flowing :-)

Given that this race starts at 10,630 feet ... it is a high altitude race, and I'm rather glad that I've been going for "higher" hikes and getting used to exerting myself at a higher altitude :-) I run out of breath a lot faster, but considering that this one is all downhill, it will help out a little bit with that ... not a lot, but just enough.
