South Mountain Half Marathon Start

74 brave souls completed the South Mountains State Park Trail Half Marathon. I’m sad to say I missed it because of knee pain. The race was won by the North Carolina Triangle area – congratulations to as Duncan Hoge of Chapel Hill, NC as first male and Kelly Kocher of Cary, NC as first female. The race had some long distance reach with runners coming from as far away as Tallahassee, FL, Rye, NY and Great Meadows, NJ. Click here to view the photo gallery from the race.

      Thanks guys. It’s not a serious problem, but it was tender after some much shorter runs (4-6 miles) so I decided to be cautious and not push it with the trail half marathon. I think it’s a short-term pain from Yoga work on my left leg which is much weaker than my right.
