1/2 Marathon

My Trav and I have been training for the 1st Annual Sitka Cross Trail Marathon & 1/2 Marathon for the past 8 weeks.  I have never run anything at this distance ever.  I am the queen of the 4 miler.  

This run was announced earlier this year and I decided I needed to do this.  The course was just finalized this past week.  Finding 13.1 let alone 26.2 miles of runnable surface in a town with 14 miles of paved road is not easy.  I have enjoyed pushing my running limits to get ready for this race.  I did not think I was capable.  My Trav has been my motivator and coach.  I love running with that man!

This picture is an illustration of the course that was emailed to us.  High tech, I know!  I'm sure to most this map doesn't make sense but some day I want to look back and reflect.  I believe there is a little bit of crayon, colored pen and sharpie.  

I will update on this again if I survive this run on August 3rd!  Happy Running....
