This race is awesome because:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It&#8217;s a long trail run in East Texas in October!<\/li>\n<li>It&#8217;s cup-free, meaning each runner needs to bring a water bottle or pouch so we don&#8217;t trash the park with thousands of ugly water cups.<\/li>\n<li>It&#8217;s cheap for a race like this.<\/li>\n<li>The organizers are really enthusiastic and eco-friendly.<\/li>\n<li>The official shirt is bamboo and organic cotton.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Jenny and I will spend the weekend in the Tyler area and might visit some wineries or try something cultural after the race. Whatever we do, it will not involve much walking.<\/p>\n<p>The only true trail races I&#8217;ve done were 5k, and this one will be even farther than my half marathon. It will definitely test my limits. But I think I can make it if I slow down and walk more, especially with six months to train. This race will be more about the experience than about going fast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This October, I plan to turn 34 years old.
