Checking out the race course

Before Sunday's party, Brad and I went to Hillsboro to drive the course for Saturday's Heart Breaker Half Marathon.

The calm, foggy weather was perfect! Too bad we were driving and not running.

We followed the map around the rural area, noting hill locations, tight turns, gravel (!?!) and other landmarks.

We'd been warned of the giant hill between miles 3 and 4. BUT... it didn't look that bad to us. It levels off in the middle, and I think we can handle it.

The whole course is very rolling. Hopefully we'll still be able to get into a groove.

Resting up and looking forward to race day :)
