It's been six weeks since my last race, so this was a good day to get back in the groove on a familiar course -- The River Mountains Loop Trail. Today's 5-mile LV Track Club run was not on the same section I had run 12 miles Thursday. The entire loop is 31 miles but only about 12 of that is paved.
The starting instructions told us it would be uphill the first mile and then flatten out to the 2.5-mile turnaround. By flat they meant just not as steep as the first mile. So it was a slow leg out and I was only 22 minutes to the turnaround. But I flew on the downhill return to finish in 42:26 and again take 2nd in my age group.
It felt good to get a race in with the Alaska Half Marathon in just 10 weeks.
