2019 Racing season begins … easing back to the trails

Saturday January 26 , 2019 .. the first race for my season . My feet had finally recovered from my 50 miler in December . I knew I needed a break from running after that and then something small to ease back into “official training ” . Shelby Park Trails 8 miler seemed to be a good starting point. It was a nice jump back on the dirt and I had fun . It was a small race with less than a 100 runners and everyone had a great time .

My next race was Feb 2nd at Turkey Run Trail Bash 5 miler. A little slippery getting to the race , iced fog had set in . Once there , racers were set off in 2 waves and I just stayed in the back of the pack . I just enjoyed this race and could care less about my pace . ( I was also running with a broken?? toe or just severely jammed from kicking a frozen log the weekend before ) I worked on my intervals and just relaxed for 5 miles in the woods . Another perfect run for me and my start to 2019 .
