Steep Ravine Trail Run

So today was my first trail running race. It was called the Steep Ravine Trail Run, and for good reason. The course was 30km long with 3,490 feet of elevation gain all along the California coast. The 30km started at Stinson beach, ran to Muir beach and came back. It was an AMAZING day.

I finished 1st in my age group and 14th overall with a time of 3:24:21 and also won a free pair of Ahnu shoes of my choice. I had no expectations going into this race and crossing that finish line was such a great feeling. I feel like I may have some more of these in my future.

Eating Dead Tree Stumps

I was really hungry yesterday while on a distance run and I decided to get some inspiration from these guys. Note to self: humans were not made to digest wood and bark. We live and we learn.

On another note, I almost did a full unofficial marathon yesterday. 25.2 miles to be exact. I'm going to keep pushing though and see just how far I can carry myself on my own two legs. Cheers!

Distance Running

I kind of wish I ran cross country in high school instead of track. Oh well, I'll just have to make up for lost time now.
