Looks like hard work to me. Those trails still have so much snow.

Jon, I’m glad to hear you and your new shoes are getting to know each other and YES cleaning them is important to maintain their usefullness. LOL mud-packed treads don’t work as well for running as say: skating? LOL I really haven’t much choice but to do trails half the time otherwise the view is VERY boring and very few hills in conjunction with paved roads around here. One thing I’ve had to do is use harder orthotic supports than in my road shoes to help with foot and calf pain. I really enjoyed your trail adventure…it sounds really exciting and challenging.

Trail running sounds like a great workout. I’m sure I would be seriously humbled if I were to run on a real trail, not the paved run/bike trails I run on.

*Sigh* no more running for me for awhile - but I’m still doing the cross trainer thing. I hope you don’t mind me living vicariously through you!

Getting lost is half the fun of it. It keeps you on your toes so to speak.

I didn’t see much in the way of wildlife on my trail run but I did end up in a hunting zone. Now that’s something to make you pay attention to your surroundings.

You’ll be ready for that race in no time.
