I guess I've got the running bug, since I signed up for the Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Marathon scheduled for next Saturday.
The weather should be great this time of year, but I have to say the course looks extremely demanding - more up and down than any other course I've seen so far - very few flat parts, and very few gently rolling part - mostly fairly steep up and down. At least the elevation chart appears that way to my amateur eyes.
In any event, I am really looking forward to it. I worked real hard last week, and will try to run a very small amount this week.
I'm also keeping my eye on the race in early May in Lone Pine. Lone Pine is about as high as Denver, Colorado, but only 200 miles north of Los Angeles. The race begins at the Whitney Portal, goes UP for a few miles, before gently gliding down for many miles. At least I've been to the Whitney Portal before, when my older brother and I climbed Mt. Whitney a few years ago. That course also looks interesting because there are some parts that are single file along a trail - just hope there are no bears on the course!
