My second running video, and the first one with music! This one is notable for a) being filmed on my mother’s birthday b) having my mother actually in the video and c) the snippet at the end about how to take an ice bath. I’m a total ice bath convert and use them after every long run (20 miles+) and every long race. DO IT.

Tilden Trails Marathon – April 2010
This was a gorgeous run in the Berkeley hills in Tilden Park. There were lots of other distances going on this day, but only about 16 of us marathoners. The course was a half-marathon loop that we did twice. I didn’t know much about the race going into it, but it turns out it was a tough course! Very hilly, lots of good climbs, and a fair amount of gooey, gloopy mud! I didn’t think I would like the two-loop setup, but it wasn’t bad at all- it was actually kind of nice to know what to expect and to know when I could push it and when to hold back.
Lots of greenery and tons of wildflowers
Just a small sampling of the muddy, muddy course
It was tough coming into the start/finish area, because almost everyone was running the half so they were finishing just as I had to go out again. But I felt good the whole race, took walk breaks when I needed to but still ran a lot at the end. It was very windy and cold up on the ridges, but when not at the top the weather was lovely–cool and overcast. It was a wonderful day to run, and a race I would definitely do again.
