The weekend was definitely a lot of fun, but believe you me, there was nothing funny about those hills. They were INSANE.

YES — isn’t that amazing? He literally ran from Medford, Oregon to his home in Medford, Massachusetts!

It wasn’t TOO bad, just because a 5K feels so short to me now (haha), but I definitely was feeling it in that second race a whole lot more than I normally would during a regular 10K. I’m curious to see how I’ll feel with one race each day during Dopey!

I bet those hills were rough… I have to admit that when I was reading about your reaction to them, I chuckled out loud (not because of your situation, but your writing style – it was too funny)!

So that guy literally ran across the country? Like coast to coast? That is hardcore!

Sounds like a really fun weekend; I am looking forward to more recaps!

Do you think both without recovery in between affected your half? Of course, I don’t know which would be better. This way or the Dopey way with all races on separate days.

Thanks so much, awesome to see you, too! It’ll be funny when we run into each other at a race that’s actually held in our state, haha.

I was a bit surprised by the size of the expo; like you said, I was assuming there’d be lots of the magazine’s usual sponsors there. I’m still trying to figure out exactly what my issue was during the half…I do think it has a lot to do with the fact that the course was INSANELY hilly. It was no joke!

The half was also the same, but a larger size. The swag wasn’t too bad, but I did have pretty high expectations, since it’s Runner’s World and they know what we like, right? :)

I figure it can’t hurt, right? Haha, you can definitely say that…we took full advantage of fall racing season, that’s for sure.
