St. Patrick's Day Trail Marathon  3/17/2012
Riverside California

St. Patrick's Day Trail Marathon was held at Sycamore Canyon Park in Riverside.  The course was a challenging single track four mile loop.  The marathon did the loop six times and a small loop at the end.  I finished in 7:32:18

It never rains in Southern California...

I had ten miles of hard rain...

I managed to turn the grey skies blue...

Marathoning lets me be my true authentic self. It reveals my weaknesses and my strengths. It shows what my limits are, and what I am truly capable of .  Marathoning brings out the best and the worse in me.  It shows that if I push through and persevere that I can accomplish anything.  Marathoning is who I am and who I want to be.
