Pacific Coast Trail Run in Pacifica

I've signed up for my next race, which is a first time run set up by Pacific Coast Trail Runs in Pacifica. I'm not doing the 50k, but I will do the 35K, mainly for training. Don't run fast, by rather slow, paced, go out relaxed, walk the steep hills, and try to remain fresh for the last third of the race. The Pacific Coast Trails people put on a great race, very laid back, great aid stations, and always the most beautiful (and hilly!) courses in the Bay Area.

So the goal is to get in the flow and rhythm of racing, and also get the opportunity to run in Pacifica, which actually is up in the mountains behind there and the Devil's Slide/Montara area, where my long lost, most favoritest people in the world (Ian and Rachel) used to live. I can run down that big mountain to the Immortal Sea, reminisce on old times, then head back up the monster hills to the finish line. And, get training for the next race (with Arturo) which will be a 50K. Then next year, aim for a 50 miler. Allah willing.
