Trails

     I went out on the local trails today and was very pleased. I took Derricks advice and left the Garmin at home. Instead I went out as far as I could go in a half hour then turned around. I was happy because I don’t think I was even close to the end of the system. It had everything from wet exposed bed rock, roots, grass, large rocks, mud and sand and the only pavement was the first 300 m or so. It was technical for a beginner like myself. The running style is so much different and required me to be vigilant for rocks and other obstacles. I really enjoyed it and can’t wait to get back out there. I was running in the La Sportiva Crosslites as recommended by Derrick and they worked great. I had a ton of traction even on the wet smooth rocks..thanks Derrick!
