So I finally convinced Jason to run a half marathon with me. A few months ago I signed us up for the Big Sur trail half marathon, not really realizing how hard it was. But, we trained anyway, and ran the race last weekend. It was REALLY hard! It was 13.1 miles with almost 3,000 feet of incline. And it was 90 degrees outside. That was definitely the hardest part. We accomplished our goal of running the whole race without walking, but by the end we pretty much thought we were going to die. The picture of the course is hill #2 out of 3. We ran up the switchbacks to the little white dot to the above left of the big tree. Anyway, we did it, and we are proud of ourselves, but I don't think either one of us will feel the need to run up a mountain for a really long time!
