Another great #IPES conference. It’s always great to see old friends and meet new ones. It’s even better when you get to go running with them.

I ran the Berkeley Trail adventure half marathon today. I placed 10th overall and 2nd in my age group. I was a fun race and I’m really pleased with how I ran it and how my body performed.
