Glad you found it!
I've been inspired to run again too, and am really enjoying it.
DrT(weekendwrAcur):
First off, I’m very thankful to have survived Covid and to have only had a mild case.
I think I can now also say I’m thankful to have made a full recovery, both from Covid and from the 3-4 week gap in training. My metrics say I’m back to my December levels again, and my technical running has continued to improve.
My near term goal race is just three days out now and I definitely feel ready. It will only be my third half marathon “in competition” but... let’s go do this!!!

Glad your recovery is going so well. Good luck this weekend! Which race?
DrT(weekendwrAcur):
Rocky 50 Trail Run Half Marathon.
It’s held in conjunction with a series of Ultras in south East Texas.
It’s pretty flat, I expect under 200m of climbing (<1%), and not too technical, but quite a few exposed roots.
200 runners entered. Forecast is overcast and just over freezing.
My goal is to finish top-30 with a solid age group placement. And to average a sub-6:00/km.

How did it go?
