Runs that aren't races...

...in beautiful places with bright shiny faces and moderate paces. So tie up your laces for a run that erases your blues awwwwwaaayyyyy!!

Yesterday was a bitter sweet day for Team Vazac. We headed up to Rodeo Beach for a trail non-race put on by the good folks over at Pacific Coast Trail Runs. Only seven weeks into my post-bilateral sports hernia life, I was relegated to being superfan.

Andrea, of course, rocked the house. She finished only 18 seconds off the podium in the 20k race, after having not run as much as she'd like to over the past 5+ weeks. Check out this form! After the race she proved how little the hills took out of her by rubbing her belly and patting her head at the same time.

A big congrats to our friends Donna & Dave who exceeded even our high expectations in their first ever trail race. They were nervous about the 8k race (with over 1000 feet of climbing) at first, but I promised that the proper medical support would be on hand. This is a very tough race, here is the first of many, many hills. Their post-race reward? Growlers! Side note: never mess with Donna in the finishes chute. She'll get you every time.

Congrats to all the racers! (sniff sniff, single tear....)
