I will be running my first trail half marathon this weekend at the Run Woodstock races in Pinckney, Michigan. I have done two 5 mile trail runs earlier this year, so I know what to expect. I expect a lot of hills, roots and rocks. I just hope I don't trip during this race like I did in my last race.
This trail half marathon is a training run for me. In a couple of weeks, I will be running my first 50K on the trails in Hell, Michigan. I have run 31 miles plenty of times this year. But never on the trails. My goal for this weekend is to have fun and get used to running on the trails for hours. My PR in the half marathon is 1:56:53. I know I won't be getting anywhere near that time. This half will be completed in over two hours. My goal is to finish under 2.5 hours. If I don't, I wouldn't be too upset. I'm excited about the new challenge.
