This run was kind of a spontaneous decision. I was looking at the weekend with no plans and ask my friend Amy if she wanted to run it with me. They had a nice little incentive of a strawberry pancake breakfast after. She did, and we were off!
The Dirty Secret Trail had two distances, the “short run”, 5.8 miles and the “long run”, 10 miles. We picked the 5.8 miles. It was cool and misty. The announcers said we would not have to worry about rattlesnakes since it was too cold that day. Oh, yay! (Gulp)
I ran into a friend I had not seen in a few years, except for on Facebook. It was a nice surprise to cross paths with Christina.
Some of the ladies from our running club that ran the short course. The long course started 30 minutes before us.
There were two creeks we crossed. One was mandatory, the other was just for fun.
Our friend Rachel ran with us the whole time. She is typically a fast little bunny, but she was recovering from an injury and took it easy. It was obvious we weren’t in it for time based on all the fun photos we took…
