It has certainly been gratifying to see the increase in participation the last few cycles. <br /><br />With regards to Black Squirrel and course speediness, I guess all things are relative. Certainly in comparison to a road half marathon it will be a slow course, but relative to other trail half marathons (that have hills) I think it will be reasonably fast. Our goal with that race is to appeal to both seasoned trail runners and those looking to test the waters in trail racing, so it should be a good intro if you do decide to do it. I'd tell you to go check the course out for yourself, but probably not the best timing considering its currently buried under two feet of snow. <br /><br />Lake Sonoma: yeah a reasonable outing, but certainly room for improvement. Race report coming soon.

I've read your blog off & on the ...Hi Nick,<br />I've read your blog off & on the past year but never commented. A couple things caught me eye this time, so wanted to speak up.<br />First, your comment on the girls stomping the men in the last T&H race was pretty motivating. New goal is making sure that doesn't happen next year. Just a few minutes to cut off the 12k time now. More seriously, I think I speak for all the T&H racers when I say we really appreciate the work you, Connie, and the others do at that series.<br />Also, I've never done a real trail race, but the BS half has me intrigued. You say the course should be "pretty fast", but looking at the description it sounds pretty tough to me. How should it compare to something like the Horsetooth Half?<br />Finally, saw you got 10th at Sonoma, congrats on the race. Only 4 minutes off your PR...sure you wanted better, but 5 sec/mile isn't too far off. I'm sure your readers look forward to the race report.<br />-ScottScott N.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241238297532213032.post-15556752708440033432013-04-11T15:44:17.514-07:002013-04-11T15:44:17.514-07:00Jane's awesome.

She could just be a fast runner and totally self-absorbed, but instead she kept sharing the gift with her workouts, races, parties, etc.<br />That Nick Clark guy is fast but also gets folks running and having fun in town, too, with workouts and races. Wonder what they'll say about him in a couple decades...<br /><br />Good luck at Sonoma!mike_hinterberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02817872376341966540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241238297532213032.post-65509369108218468232013-04-11T14:50:22.305-07:002013-04-11T14:50:22.305-07:00oooo awesome about the Blue Sky Marathon!
