Tatonka Trail Run and Fall Snapshots
Yesterday morning Jaycob and I raced in the 2nd annual 10K Tatonka Trail Run in Glorieta, New Mexico. It was quite a different experience compared to last year, when my very-pregnant self walked the 5K course! It was fun to be able to run it this year while Ady spent the morning with her babysitter. I haven't been doing a lot of trail running since having the baby, but it was a beautiful day for a run and the trails were fun with lots of ups and downs and bright fall colors in their prime. It was a chilly morning but warmed up during the race. My goal was to run the whole race without walking (done!), and also to finish before all the cupcakes were gone (check!). I have high ambitions. Admittedly, I was not very prepared for the intensity of the race, nor did I mentally prep for a run that would take me that long, but I feel a sense of accomplishment afterwards. (Not to mention a sense of delayed onset muscle soreness.) Jaycob had a great race and got the bronze medal!
