Trail Run!
Well I went on m first ever trail run today. As I type this my hands are hardly working they are so cold. It was 18 degrees and sunny, some snow onn the ground, a perfect day to be in the woods.... running.
I did the black diamond and blue square trails at Biltmore, probably about 7 miles total, in 1 hour. About 45 minutes in I was starting to feel that pinching feeling in my knee so I had to walk a little bit after that. If I'm going to the Dicky Run Club thing I need to get my ass out there more often, get my knees used to 10+ miles, and learn to pace myself early on in the run. The trail was sooooo much better than the road. Why would it be any different for me? I much prefer to ride my bike in the woods than on the road.... it makes since that running would be the same!
Anyway, It felt great getting out there at all, Iam very happy that I kept it up for a whole hour in this weather....oh, especially considering Erinna and I had a pretty late evening attending a KILLER costume party last night. Thanks Thad!
