An 11-K Valentine's

11-K... as in kilometers... wish it was carats?!! It was romantic nonetheless. And as my friends put it "how sweat!"

Hubby and I started Valentine's Day quite early-- woke up at 4AM, on the road by 5AM, and was at the race venue by 5.30AM. Whew! Gun off was at 6AM, and we were there pumped up and awake. We trekked, hiked, trailed, ran, walked, ran, ran... Quite an interesting change from the city races we have been to. I enjoyed the change of scenery and pace. But not the climbs and the slides-- leg killers! Most exciting was the fact that this was a race for couples! So, hubby and I ran and trekked side by side all through out. Now, I really think that was sweet and sweat. I surprisingly enjoyed doing this trail run because of the Valentino factor.
