Practice for the Hairy Gorilla

I had this past Monday off from work for the Holiday (hurray!) so Chris and I wanted to make the most of the beautiful weather! We drove up to Thacher Park to run the trails and do a bit of light hiking.

We ended up running about a mile since my hip started acting up and just walked the rest, which was okay in my book. I needed to get in at least a little bit of trail running before the Hairy Gorilla Half Marathon! I’m still on the fence about running the whole half marathon of the trail race or sticking with the 6 mile version. I’m torn! I want to run the half, but I also don’t want to kill myself on the trails. Running a half marathon is hard enough on the roads! We will see how I feel in a few more weeks.

Enjoy the photos I took on Monday!
