Trail Running

March 2012




Snake Creek Gap Marks the end of longish trail runs on the weekend. I usually take a little break from the bike in the Winter and RUN most of my trail miles in my cushy shoes.  No helmet, no gears, & no pack; just me and the earth...and maybe a dog or two.  It is reviving!   When it's really cold out, I think it's easier to generate body heat with a good run as opposed to a bike ride.  I am miserable riding with numb feet and hands, which happens even with the warmest gear possible.  I can zone out and let my body just go at a steady pace.  So, here is a little fairwell to the long hours of pounding the dirt with my Brooks Pure Grits, and hello to long weekend hours on my Superfly 100.
