13.1 Grants Pass Half Marathon
After running the 10k in Santa Cruz, I wanted to keep going by upping the miles, so I visited the half marathon training plan Hal Higdon has and stuck to it for the next few months. I was running more hills than the Grants Pass half marathon had in it, so I felt I would do just fine. I was pumped to again get to experience all the energized folks at the race. We took off from the All Sports Park (Reinhart Park) on a cold (I wore a thin patagonia wool base layer) morning and ran into town and then out Lower River Road. A few miles of the run you are on the Rogue River, then you cruise into some large farmlands before turning up to Upper River Road and the mostly down and flat few miles back to Reinhart Park.
