suncrest

suncrest is a demon of a hill to run.
we know this.
from running it.

on saturday me mom and a lady in my moms ward are going to
"conquer to mountian"
by relaying the Suncrest Mountian Race half marathon.
yes..we're relaying it! (in other words..splitting it up)
it's mostly all trails.
and lots of beastly hills.
lots.

why do we do this to ourselves?
oh.
because it feels good.
:)

now if i could just wave a magic wand and get my shin splints to magically heal.

**update**

the rece was super fun. granted, i couldn't have ever done the full 13.1.
never.
the whole stinkin' thing was uphill. or a crzzy steep downhill, on rocks.
but my 5 miles was so fun!
trail running is something new, and something awesome!
total we finished in 2:22. & came in 3rd in the relay co-ed division..even though we were all females.
so, basically we finished first in the all chica division.

next race is halloween half. my next, and possibly last for a while.
boohoo.
