Well here is a brief update on my venture into the world of running. Last Saturday I ran the Hill Country Trail Race at Serenbe 15K and it was AMAZING. The paths were beautiful, just stunning. The scenery was....awesome. But the terrain was tough. It was mostly on hiking paths with steep inclines, through pastures and woods, parts were muddy and over a slippery riverbed. It was really special that at mile markers 2 and 4 there were muscians playing. At mile 2 there was a man in a kilt playing the bagpipes. And at mile 4 there was a musician playing the saxophone. I can't tell you what an unexpected delight it is to run through the woods hearing the Jason Mraz song, "I'm Yours" echo through the trees. It's pretty stinkin' cool! I will def do this race again next year! Here is a youtube video of the entire path. It's fast-forwarded but it's pretty neat!
I have to admit, I was scared to death about this race. It was very intimidating. But having so thoroughly enjoyed it, I guess I'll have to stick to my original plan of running in the 6th Annual Clearwater Halfathon in Florida in January. Although 13 miles sounds pretty scary!
