Just signed up for the North Face Endurance Challenge Half-Marathon

              I just signed up to run a half marathon in a nature park. The race is called the North Face Endurance Challenge Half Marathon. I am super nervous because I have never run a race on mixed terrain before. I am very used to running 13+ miles at one time, I do this now weekly for my long runs. Yet, not at all sure whether I can even finish the race within the allotted 4 hour time. The great news is that once finished, I will qualify to be a Half-Fanatics: 

Here are some interesting facts about this race in case anyone want to join me...can't wait. 

*The North Face Endurance Challenge returns to Algonkian Regional Park, Great Falls Park and the Potomac Heritage Trail again in 2013. The course keeps runners on their toes with ever-changing terrain. Overall, the course consists of 50% singletrack, 30% dirt or gravel double-track, 10% gravel carriage road and 10% paved road.
*The North Face Athletes Dean Karnazes and endurance challenge race director,Nick Moore. I can't believe it, I might actually get a chance to meet Dean Karnazes.
* The race offers 2 kid races, one on Saturday and one on Sunday.
