trail running is literally the best thing in the world and i feel that it's different enough from "running running" that it deserves its own thread.

I don't know how people do this without spraining an ankle every time

did my first trail half marathon last November and it was a blast, will probably do it again this year (if they have it)

go slow and stay on your toes. feet and lower legs get strong fast ime.
the group races i might have done are all cancelled for the summer but i'm a little relieved actually. part of the reason i love trail running is for the solo time. though trails are definitely busier than ever in my neck of the woods.

ski resorts aren't exactly pristine but they're a great place to run in the summer. i'm lucky i live within like 30 minutes of a few. i feel like i'm writing a summer essay lol. the wasatch can be crowded but it's definitely a real one as far as blessing your aching calves and burning lungs with thousands of feet in elevation gain in a few miles. i only did 500 feet and 2 miles today but it was fun and beautiful and challenging.
