Have you ever run a trail race? How do you prepare?
Rowing Annie sounds fun!! I love doing trail races because I know I’m going to get a lousy time so I don’t worry about it. Haha. That makes sense, right?
Ha! It was definitely humbling and a good change. I have been relying way too much on my GPS watch, my pace, and fast treadmill runs. This helped to realize that sometimes I just need to take it down a notch.
