What the.....!!

Note to self:
When signing up for a training race be sure to note the course map and race name. If it has the word "CHALLENGE" in the name...for example, the Shamrock Run 15k CHALLENGE...there is a good possibility that it will be, well, CHALLENGING.

I just drove the 15K course for the race Ava & I are doing on March 14th. Over 3 miles of it is continuous uphill -- past OHSU for those of you who know Portland. As you can tell I'm a little nervous...do I start crying now or wait till later?

Check out the course map here:

  1. Who said anything about 15K?

    I thought we were signed up for the 5K!!

    Just teasing.

    I guess we have three weeks to get our hill work on!

  2. I can't wait to hear how you conquer that hill! How you focused on your core, remembered your stride, relaxed your shoulders and just took deep breaths as you worked your way up and then how quickly you were at the top! Then the feeling of accomplishment and relief that washed over you and gave you the energy to finish strong!
