Thu, 28 Jan 2010 17:41:29 +0000 http://www.bullcityrunning.com/wp/?page_id=81#comment-86 [...] I mentioned this last week but it bears repeating, in part because the $35 registration fee benefits a good cause — continued development of the 1,000-mile work-in-progress Mountains-to-Sea Trail, about half of which is finished — but also because timing-wise it’s perfect for the short-distance runner looking to up the ante. The run is along 12 miles of singletrack trail along the south shore of Falls Lake; if you run 10Ks or 5Ks, you may be thinking, “Shoot, that’s twice as far as I run,” — or four times as far! There’s something about trail running, though, that somehow makes 12 miles seem shorter. Perhaps it’s the scenery, perhaps it’s the fact that because you must focus on the trail, to avoid rocks and tree roots, you lose track of the time. (The latter also forces you to run a bit slower.) 5Ker today, on January 28th, a near-half-marathoner come April 10. More info, go here.
