I am so jealous of you Trishie. I went to college in Balto. It's my second home. I am looking into races in Balto. They have a million . I took a running class in college. Hated it then. My final was running for a half hour. I was hung over and running through piles of cicada shells. ewwwww
I run around my neighborhood and town. Both are very small, but scenic. It is the benefit of trail running but with more visibility. LAB-Where my sister lives in MO, a woman was brutally beaten on a trail by a teenager. He was caught by a passerby and a sexual assault was sidelined. I love the thought of trail running, but would feel most comfortable with a partner and I'm not easily spooked.
I always think, gosh, I'd love to be able to run on trails. But realistically, even if I there were some longer than the 3 or 4 miles ones close to me, I don't think I could do it. It's just not safe for a woman to be out on a low visibility trail by herself. Because of our mild weather, there are a lot of transients and illegal aliens who stay in wooded areas. Aside from them, there are just your everday pervs on the loose. There was a report just the other day of a female jogger being sexually assaulted on a trail near my home, that I frequent with my kids. It's really frustrating.

Getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to
remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.

A little of topic, but how do I get my running groups to show in my signature?
madness baby
Where at? I'm finishing up at UB Law (um, on Monday ) and live near Patterson Park. I love this city .... it's sketchy at night and always kind of shady, but it's really growing on me Yes, there are TONS of races in and around here!
Kelstar - What college did you go to? I was at TU. I remember the summer with the cicadas. I think I stayed in the gym for the most part that year.
