If you would have asked me two months ago where my running
would be today, I would have said, “In the middle of half marathon training!”
But where am I? I’m on an impromptu tangent into the realm of cross
country. In an effort to find some
running buddies, I joined a cross country and track club. I wanted to race with
them despite the fact training for 5ks all season will not produce a stellar
half marathon.
I’m racing cross country because the
opportunity is here. There will be more half marathons to race in the future.
Sometimes you gotta just go with the flow and see what
comes your way!
As I meet more runners, perhaps I’ll veer back into longer
distance races, but until then, I’m spiking up.
I know what you mean. I prefer road running myself. Last year I ran my first (and last) trail run. It was 10km but boy what a tough race it was. We were going up a mountain for more than half the race. I finished in 1 hour. My average 10k time is between 44 and 47 minutes. My best is 44 minutes. Imagine that. But hey, I can at least say I've done it, even if just once.
