I completed my first trail run on Saturday morning. It was a 5k through the woods after a weekend of rain, so you can use your imagination as to what I looked liked when it was over. I've been "running" all summer, using that term loosely. My run is more like a jog, or a brisk walk with a bounce. I'm slow. Anyway, it was really fun and I'm very proud of myself and my friend Jaclyn for getting up early and making the whole way.
A few good things to know if you are thinking about doing a trail run is that you WILL feel it in muscles that you didn't know you had, slowing down on a huge muddy hill is a terrible idea and it can be rough for people who don't pick up their feet enough. Lots of things to trip on. But I can't knock the scenery and the people who do these races are pretty cool as well.
On another note, I am renewing my energy toward finding a new job. I have given myself a deadline at the pub and am holding myself to no excuses. If I can't find something by then I will at least have to find a different part time job and get myself out of that atmosphere. I have no doubt it is going to be hard and that I will have even less money than I have now, but when it comes down to it... it's what I need to do. So the search continues with a new vigor.
wish me luck!
