It will be a load of fun! I plan on running 10:00s if you want to start together! I am not sure when the 5K and 10K split. But you do not have to worry about tripping or falling - if you plan on paying attention and not flying through :)kilaxhttp://www.ilaxstudio.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659111169994174275.post-3279596845306302722012-11-30T13:33:00.610-06:002012-11-30T13:33:00.610-06:00I've never run a trail race so I am excited to...I've never run a trail race so I am excited to hear about your experience!!! I am sure it will be a blast - just go out and let loose and enjoy yourself!!! In generall, though, I hear trail races are much more challenging, in a good way. But who knows - you might get hooked on trail races and never run a road race ever again!!! =D<br /><br />Love love LOVE those purple tights. They are FABULOUS. And so is the sparkly number that you are wearing tonight. Have a fantastic time at the holiday party!!!emmers712https://www.blogger.com/profile/15865493476823978890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659111169994174275.post-37537721146207950692012-11-30T12:10:18.398-06:002012-11-30T12:10:18.398-06:00lol on those turkey trot photos!
Awesome on the...lol on those turkey trot photos! <br /><br />Awesome on the trail race! I generally just wear the same shoes that I wear for road running - unless you are doing a serious trail race since some mud and lot of slippery terrain. And props on the 2130 shoes, I used to run in those maybe in 2009 lol!Nellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11613262056157769496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659111169994174275.post-84410687047780729272012-11-30T11:02:45.417-06:002012-11-30T11:02:45.417-06:00remember to look down, but remember to look up too...remember to look down, but remember to look up too! I have never done a trail race, but i like to run on trails with my friend eric - i become so obsessed with looking at my feet so i dont trip that i have run into people, branches, and thorn bushes :) Ginger Foxxxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08714780032240801638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659111169994174275.post-42080864472291260052012-11-30T10:27:41.049-06:002012-11-30T10:27:41.049-06:00Put one foot in front of the other one ;)
You sti...Put one foot in front of the other one ;)<br /><br />You still have a pair of 2130's??? Those have to be like 5 years old now. Retro shoe flashback! You'll hopefully have a blast tomorrow. In my younger years I used to do the Cross Country Challenge (which is actually this weekend too) and had to swim through farm run-off up to my chest and crawl over and under plenty of fences while trying not to sink in mud. Pretty fun back then, but now I feel to old for that kind of stuff where once I'm muddy and wet I get super crabby and it officially stops being any sort of fun. I think you'll have a blast stepping out of the flat and predictable urban running route. Just bring extra clothes just in case. <br /><br />Are you heading out that way tonight and staying up there or are you making the long haul tomorrow?Britt @ Chicago Runner Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15628838959053342745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659111169994174275.post-58833677764138432102012-11-30T08:42:25.517-06:002012-11-30T08:42:25.517-06:00Agreed.
