Trail Running Half Marathon

[Shawn]

Yesterday, I signed up for the Shawnee Hills Trail Races Half Marathon.

It's a 13ish mile trail run through the Shawnee National Forest.

It's my first half marathon.

I've hiked the area it's in many times. I know the route very well.

I have about 4 months to train. I'm not much of a runner but I can hike really fast, and I have 12 hours to complete it. I feel like I should be able to do it.

That’s awesome. I’ve never done a marathon but it’s on my list. It sounds like a crazy challenge but fun too. You just have to pace yourself and enjoy the view.

I did it. 4 hours and 14 minutes.

Loved it.

Next year I'm doing the 50K run. Already signed up for it, too
