i've found a few trails and routes (all paved so far) and unfortunately the hank aaron heading west is closed in a section until 2018 for the freeway construction that goes over the trail. i was really looking forward to running that way so i'm thinking i'm going to try it again and attempt the detour... see where it leads me.
i've also just learned today of a short gravel trail that is about 3-4 miles in on what has become my usual route. i'm very excited to find this trail and check it out.
i just signed up for the tosa fest 5K. i haven't run a 5K since may and i guess it's about time. i'm pretty excited because this race is just blocks from my house. i don't like the 5:30pm start time, but whatever... could still be fun. probably won't be my fastest 5K since i'm a faster (better?) runner in the morning.
next weekend i've got the strider 1/2. mostly i've just been puttering along. after ice age i feel like ever other race is just a professionally timed run. i feel competitive about it but not like last year. after i accomplished the 50K it doesn't seem like any of these other races are as important as they once were.
i'm not sure what my 2016 goals will be. i can't decide what my focus should be. part of me wants to run long but part of me wants to focus on getting faster and to get faster i think i need to incorporate more 5K races into my race season. if i do that then the longer races will fall to the wayside. i'm really considering iceage again as my A race for 2016. i'd like to shave some time off and with an injury free body i really believe i could have run that faster than i did.
so that's what's been going on with me. back in the city and couldn't be happier!

5k revolution! I'm excited to hear you're signed up for Tosa Fest! I've never done that one but hear it's a super fast course. Should be a fun one!
