Unexpected "find" turns a crappy run into an enjoyable run. (Read 195 times)

    I would've crawled right in there to escape the wind! I'm curious to know if you were sore at all today (or more fatigued). Sometimes, if I opt for a trail where there is more dodging and whatnot, I find my legs feel it the next day. I assume it's because they are used to the monotony of the pavement at this point.

     

    P.S. Awesome photo. Looks like a really cool, little happy place Smile

    So I'm currently sitting with a bag of frozen corn in my ass.

      I see that and think of the Keebler elves tree.  Mmmmm.....you ever have those Grasshopper cookies?

        Trail runs are always the best IMO. So refreshing.

          I bet that there is a hidden immunity idol in that tree.  Go back and grab it, as it could save you during your race.  Just think that you could have immunity from muscle pains, hamstring strains and sore legs - hehe.

           

          Hmmm.... let me see....first HM on the table.....now you like trail running .... soon you will be onto ultras!!!

            Um, I don't want to blame the trail run but I did get a wicked foot cramp last night that worke me out of a sound sleep.  It was a big one -- my foot is sore from it this morning.  But my foot has been a little off since my LR on Saturday so it's not Pooh's fault.

              Immunity idol...if only it were that easy!

               

              No ultra talk!  Of course, one year ago I would've thougth you were crazy if you told me I'd be doing a HM....

                Or a geocache.  But an immunity idol would be better.

                 

                Cool pic and post.

                  Nice post.  It's good for the mind to change it up every once in a while.

                   

                  I hope the foot is ok...

                    Trail runs definitely make a nice change.  I'd rather run trails, especially easy park trails, than roads, even though I'm much slower.

                        I took a trail run off the main path at a park I used to log lots of miles at and found a scary hobo camp.

                          I haven't done a trail run in a long time, I may have to schedule one in.  Great post, you inspired me to do it again.

                              What a great post!  Love the picture of the tree.   Its important to remember that we do like running, it's shouldn't all be a chore.  Glad you enjoyed an adventure this week!

                                I thought of you as I ran through the woods this weekend.  I saw a red fox and first thing I thought was damn, I don't have a camera like Phillie did.  LOL.
