When Nature Calls...

Crystal invited me on a hike to Table Rock last Saturday. It's amazing how a few hours in nature can make you feel like a new person. I was so inspired by it that I signed up for a trail race at the end of May. A 15k in Paris Mountain State Park--part of the Xterra Trail Series. I have really enjoyed the time off of training, but I'm ready to get back. And I'm ready for the trails. Wish me luck as I venture into this new world of trail running...

Be careful of running on trails. You just might get hooked :)

For the little bit of running I have tried - I really liked trail running. The scenery changes fast & you have to pay attention & it's in the shade (& this is the longest run=on sentence ever).

Have fun!

Very cool! I'll try and be there to cheer you on. :) And I'll also email you some pictures from Saturday so you can add those if you want. Thanks again for coming! Do you ever run the trails at Cleveland Park? Eagle Ridge Trail (or maybe just Eagle Trail?) is my favorite.

Cool! I think it'll be really fun.

Uh-oh. Say goodbye to road running.
