We have several 5k (3.1mi) races in my town. Many of which are fundraisers for different organizations.
This past weekend I ran a race it was a bit more than a 5k. The total mileage for the race was 5.2mi.
This race was brutal!!!! It was a trail race not the standard road race. The race is a fundraiser for an organization called Foys to Blacktail trail. Check them out they are doing an amazing thing preserving land in our valley for recreation and are even building a great trail system.
The race showcases some of their recent trail work. This year the first mile of the race was great slight gain in elevation nothing to bad. The second mile however was EVIL!! The second mile gained about 800feet in elevation. As they say though what goes up must come down so from mile 2.5 on the race was great! I love to run some down hill.
If it hadn't been for the uphill my time would have been decent (not good but decent).
I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. Though life may throw you curveballs there is a purpose and reason behind everything life throws at you...however finding that reason and purpose is sometimes the most dificult thing to come to terms with.
