Wildwoods Challege Training - Day 1

My friend recently told me about this race in Itasca State Park. It is either a 25k or 10k trail race. I was originally going to do the 10k but since she is doing the 25k, I think I need to "man up" and do the long race. http://www.wildwoodschallenge.com/

Yesterday I decided to try to do a little trail running. There are some ATV trails by my house so I hit the paths. It was a lot of fun. I only made it 1.5 miles before getting exhausted and moving to a dirt bike path. Total run was 4.2 miles. I'm going to do the 25k.

I did a little research today. I realized I need to approach this totally different than the Half Marathon I just completed. This should be an interesting adventure.
