Our first race of 2020 is in the books. Val and I joined my sister to run the Surf City Half Marathon in Huntington Beach on February 2, 2020. The course was a mostly flat, mostly out and back route along PCH. The weather was pretty much as good as you may want for a road race. The fact that I hadn’t run more than 9 miles since early November 2019 was evident right around 10.5 miles as calf cramps set in. Outside of that, it was a fun race and motivating for both the Great Race of Agoura Hills in late March (10k) and RunDisney’s Star Wars race weekend in April 2020 (5k, 10k, and Half). Got a cool medal and a few beers over the course of the day as a reward.
Reward evening. Not pictured: nachos.
