Whitetail trail half marathon

Saturday was my first half marathon (trail run). This is the most physically challenging thing I have ever done , but also the most rewarding. It was not what I expected at all. It was mostly a single file course which slowed you down quite a bit , and there was absolutely NO flat ground. I finished towards the back of the pack but just happy I wasn't last (2hrs 25 min). I was satisfied in just finishing without walking any of it , as my longest run in months was a 10k last week. This was one of the best days of life and thanks to all of you for the inspiration , this is a great board and I'm proud to be one of you.

Now on to a few rest days while out of town on a business trip.

A 3 hour road trip and sitting in the cool air at the Bengals/Browns game today wasn't very nice on sore legs either.

Totally amazing! Great Job! We are proud of you!

Pretty cool that you  got to go to the football game even though your legs were sore.

So how do you like trail running now? Road or trail more preferable? I ABSOLUTELY LOVE trail running. Nothing better than being out in nature... Great job today bro!

Loved the trail , I'm too slow for the roads ..... the hills were where I made up ground on the others.
