Adrienne has been itching to get back into some running and I think I have her convinced that Santa Barbara 9 Trails is the way to go. It is a 35 mile race that has somewhere around 11000' - 12000' of climbing in it. I know it sounds crazy to some, but in many ways training for this race is much easier than training for a fast 5k. The race is not until November and (assuming that we can get in this year), she will have plenty of time to build a base, race some fun races, do some long long runs and get ready. I am excited for her. I will do the race as well, and it will be fun to test some limits. I will continue training the same way, but getting that long run up there come summer time. My goal is to be able to build that 7min pace running efficiency while I increase the long run. Hopefully I can race a long race at that training pace. Who knows. It is really a side goal, but one that I will put some attention toward come late summer. Adrienne should love the experience. :)
