A Bad Trail Running Injury to Begin August

 I experienced another setback at the beginning of August with a bad trail fall.  Really smashed up my side and ripped up my hand.  Took a while to come back from this one but I am running again.  Still, it feels like I'm always struggling to get some momentum going these days.

Sleeping Giant 50k

Wasn't sure how this race would go - I wasn't too concerned about the distance but the vertical gain (advertised as 6k feet but actually 7k) was considerable.  It's a tough, technical 15.5 mile course that you run twice.  Probably went a little fast on the first lap (3 hours 10 min) and slowly bled time on the second lap, getting passed fairly regularly.  Still, I finished in under 7 hours and I'm very happy with that.  Seems like my body is holding together fairly well so I can plan for more adventures ahead!
