7.4 miles

3 miles during the wash cycle, 4.4 miles during the dry cycle.

One guy from the club emailed us about another race that I think I'll do. Has anyone done it? It's the Rocky Hill Ranch 25k/50k. I think I'd like to try a trail run with some hills and everything. I'd only do the 25k, but from what I've heard it's still somewhat difficult, and it's a little bit late in the year (April 30th), so it could be pretty hot.

It's really strange for me to be racing so much, I usually only race a few times per year, but now I've got three races planned in the next three months, and I'll probably do one of the 10k's too. I think the enthusaism of the other bloggers has rubbed off on me a little bit. I used to see races as more of an interruption in my training than anything else. At some point though, I might return to that form and quit racing for a while. There is something to be said for aimless running for running's sake.

Rock on.
Keith.

Two folks from Seven Hills RC were saying yesterday that he had ran that (the other did the duathlon there) and that there were a lot of rocks on that course.

Hog's Hunt 25K is on April 1st at Huntsville State Park as a closer alternative perhaps. The only thing at HSP to worry about is tree roots.

The Huntsville Race seems like fun...getting off road would be a welcome change of pace. The high school and college cross country races I ran were mostly on more or less flat grass courses- parks or fields. One of my all time top 10 training runs (years ago) was in Indiana, mostly over pine needles under the tree canopy in a national forest.
