Upcoming Races in San Diego

I signed up for my first-ever trail race a couple weeks ago. I never considered doing trail races until recently...don't know why it never crossed my mind. I like trails. I like running. I like races. Combine=happy.

A friend and I will be doing the Cinco de Mayo Trail Run 10K at Lake Poway on May 8th... (maybe they should change the name since May 5th obviously will not always fall on a Sunday. just a thought.) Since my last experience at Lake Poway was a bit...precarious...I want to use this an opportunity to make some good memories there.
