You know those decisions you make where after it’s done you feel better about life, the universe, and everything? I just made one of those about my race schedule and decided to nix the 25k in early April to focus on the 30k in Austin near the end of that month. It would allow me to get the long run distances I need without feeling the need to taper or travel for a big race in the middle of training. Plus I could stand to keep the moolah. :)

That’s all! Everybody have a good week. Here are some pics from my 5 mi trail race/mud fest on Saturday. They might be a little blurry.

California 56 trail. My fave. :)

Rocks!! Highlander trail.

Bamboo and roots on the (nearly vertical) Drainpipe trail.
