Lost Trail Running
Sunday, December 13th, 2009
Have you ever had something that you love doing, but for whatever reason, never do it enough?
For me, that is trail running.
I hate running on pavement. It is boring and lame. I love bounding over tree roots, climbing up boulders and jumping over streams. It beats dodging cars and icy sidewalks any day.
It also brings back memories of how I originally got hooked into running, high school cross country. It was pretty much the first sport that I found that I was good at and liked, so I put up with running indoor track in the winter and outdoor track in the spring just so I could be in good shape for the fall. Looping in circles on the track drove me nuts, but put me on a wooded trail and I’m as happy as a clam.
Now if only I could get better at not getting lost…
