Hadn’t run in a while, busy summer. Start things off on the right foot with a 10K of course!

• Goals: Just wanted to finish - success!

• Splits:

• Training None!

• Pre-race Got there early and checked out the scene. Regular stuff and people coming and going. We decided to grab some pre-race coffee and ice cream. This pretty cool ice-cream hop (is that right?) gave us some samples and we both knew that the mango was the best! After, we waited on the beach for the start.

• Race The start & finish at is on Moonlight Beach in Encinitas and we run an out and back during low tide on the sand right on the crashing surf and steep cliffs with people relaxing and watching on the beach. Its a pretty cool race in this regards. Second time running and probably my last but no regrets!

• Post-race Felt great. I didn’t over do it since I had no training and I have my sights on some real races in the beginning of the year I want to be healthy and train for. This start that phase!

Whoa!.
