On January 7th, I did the Crystal Springs 50K Trail Run in Woodside, CA. I signed up for this race because I wanted to complete a long run in preparation for Surf City Marathon next month. I consider this type of event a "fully catered training day" where all my basic needs are taken care of so my mind can simply focus on just running. It was a beautiful day on the course which offered lots of single track zig zagging through bay area coastal redwood trees. They say we can learn more from the real thing than from a substitute so perhaps racing your way into shape is the best training out there.
