Pacific Coast Trail Runs

When I was visiting family a couple of weeks ago my uber runner brother told me about the Pacific Coast Trail Runs series. Wow! You folks living on the left edge are lucky!

Note that there is even one in Forest Park in Portland, and they have a 10 k option. I expect some of you PNW gals to run in this one!

I have this crazy, hare brained idea that I may train for this 50K. Or maybe the Carmel Valley one in October. I have time, I think (I'm at 25-30 mpw right now and have recently done a 20k and 25k and felt pretty good...). It'll give me something to focus on and might help combat that saddlebag jiggle that I just can't seem to get rid of :p . Plus, these are at sea level. Big bonus for those of us that live in the highlands.

Anyhoo, just thought I'd share for those of you living closer to the edge. :D

I WISH we had something like that around here. We have all of these great trails to run on, and no off road series. I can't figure it.

I am envious.
