Trail Running

6 miles

This morning me and two friends took to the trails. It was so fun to do single tracks and switchbacks along steep inclines. I forgot how much fun trail running is and how dirty you get! I took Sirius with me and he had a blast. It was insane how focused he was and how great he did sticking to the trail. He hardly stopped to pee on trees too which is a vast improvement from his usual needing to stop every 10 feet to smell and pee on things. I think I might need to add trail running to a weekly routine. I felt like I was a kid running through the forest and jumping over logs and going over bridges and running through streams. What a great weekend I have had with running. I think my love for running has come back full strength. Just in time too. Ever since the marathon I have been dreading my runs. So glad to have my love back and it only took two amazing runs with my best running buddy! No snow for him today but he did get to jump and wade in the streams so not a complete bust for him to cool down.
