Next up, 20K USA Championships

The excitement of Classic Car week here on the Peninsula was nice while it lasted, but I am happy to be back in a routine and have all my running routes less clogged with tourists or spectators for the Pebble Beach events. Maybe there is something to be said for the loneliness on the long-distance runner? I like it quiet enough that I can hear the ocean and see my usual friends along the trails. I have about a week and half to enjoy before I get back on a plane and travel to New Haven, Connecticut for the 20k USA Championships, a race I won the last time I ran it in 2005 ages ago.
