Great Trail Running
Though I’m no speedster when it comes to running, I’m a sucker for human endurance, and the affiliate pain and suffering that comes with it. I had the pleasure of running the Pacifica Trail Run at San Pedro Valley Park this past weekend. While the race boasted a 9K, 21K, 30K, and 50K courses, I opted for the "little" 9K. Perfect running weather, a couple of semi-gnarly hills, and this has become a race I will definitely do again. 
Put on by Pacific Trail Runs — this organization does some pretty awesome races — it was small, informal, and had great post-race food. Doing trail races makes one realize how fortunate we are here in the SF Bay Area. Street running, and paved trail running is great, but there’s nothing to compare with some of the natural beauty inherent in the trails right in our own backyard. Edgewood Park, Huddart Park, Pulgas Ridge, Canada Trail, Wunderlicht, Windy Hill….those are just a small few of the many great trails here in the San Mateo County area.

That’s a tough 9k by any measure. Great to see you are enjoying the trails, and thanks for the link!
