July 18th-Saturday: Frenzy in the Forest trail race with the fam-9 miles-(1.6 wu-14:28 + 4.35 mi. race-30:26 + 3.05 cd-24:21)-combined total-(69:15) in the AM. I ended up with 2nd OA + 1st in my age group of 20-29. Tough course + gnarly trails + no wipe outs = a definite good time! I stuck with my younger bro Seth right up until the last half a mile or so where he lost me on a good downhill section. We got rid of any pursuers within the first couple miles. I'm pretty happy with it overall, and I'm already looking forward to next weekend's 10k trail race over in Vermont! :D

48 miles-(6:22:14) of running including 1 rewarding trail race for the week! I'm at a good place with mileage right now, and I need to work at keeping it up over 6 hrs of total training time per week because that's what I race well off of! :)

June 20th-Saturday: West Windsor trail 5k-6 miles-(1 wu-(8:19) + 4.5 mi. off-course, race-(36:23) + .5 cd-4:26)-total time-(49:08) in the AM. It was pretty frustrating to be directed down the wrong path right after the halfway point. I didn't really realize it was the wrong way for another .75 mi. of running, and just decided to keep going. I ended up merging onto the 10k course towards the end, ran 1.4 mi. extra. It just sucks to think that I could have won by like 10 minutes if I had gone the right way. Ohh well...until the next race where I'll make sure to wreck it! I did get a couple consolation prizes for the misdirection, but it still irritates me! haha
