This running forum has been slow lately! I went for a trail run this afternoon--I am up to 2 miles at a time (next run I get to go up to 2.5--yahoo!) so I did my two miles and then walked for a bit before turning around to go back to where I started. It was snowing! I only saw one other person on the trail, which was surprising. This run was a lot better than my last trail run two weeks ago--I felt much less clumsy and had no aches and pains, IT band or otherwise. Maybe the new shoes helped since they fit better, and plus I had been running more and getting some confidence back. It felt really good and I think I needed it--I'm in a very good mood this afternoon! The only thing that could have been better was when WALKING back, I was jumping over some especially squishy mud, my foot slid out from under me because I stepped on some leaves that were on top of a wet rock, and I landed right in the mud . I guess I'm not back to 100% agility yet...or maybe I should just blame that one on the fact that the trail is under a thick layer of leaves this time of year so it's harder to see where you're about to put your foot (and they can be slippery too). How's everyone else's running going?
