So I did it; I registered for the Tulip Festival Half. It's going to be tight, with only 5 1/2 weeks vs. the normal 8 I like to use to get ready for an event, but I think it's going to be fun. This course is about 9 miles of rollers, which is tough, but this year I know what I'm in for and am training accordingly. So. When you live in a flat lakebed, and you need to train on rollers, you get creative and improvise. Two Saturdays ago I did laps on the overpass. I'm not kidding.
Then I got a notice about a running group heading up a trail early Saturday morning, and thought that would be good training! It was a great run with a great group of people! We ran up the Hot Pot trail in Diamond Fork Canyon, and part of the group turned around at the hot pots for a 6 mile total, and the other half of us continued on for another couple miles to make a complete 10 mile out and back.
The crazies who kept on going. What a great group of people! We were all just there to have fun, go for a great run, nothing to prove to anyone, no egos, just sun, fun, run, dirt, breathing, mountain fresh air! It was so great to find this group! I'm definitely going again!
