I never thought I would admit this out loud, but I do believe Miley Cyrus has it right. I even found myself singing her lyrics in my head as I forced myself up the trails this past Saturday. "Ain't about how fast I get there, ain't about whats waiting on the other side. Its the Climb!"
Yes, I am a sucker for cheese.
I ran a 20kilometer race on Saturday morning, put on by an organization called Pacific Coast Trail Runs. It was a rewarding experience in a beautiful environment. The climbs were brutal but the scenery was worth it. The people were hard core, but somehow I still felt comfortable and confident. I was proud of my accomplishment (even though I wasn't speedy) and was even surprised to see my biggest fans waiting at the finish line. There they were, Evan and the girls cheering for me. My quads still feel like "tenderized meat," (as Sandi would say) but I am still anxious to do another trail race sometime soon!

Oh Brooke, I'm so glad I didn't attempt this race! It looks gorgeous, but if you had a hard time, I would have DIED! Glad you had fun!
Way to go sister! Sounds like a lot of fun. (Well not for me, but that's only because I would die after like 3 km.) You rock!
