Trail Running? Long...

[Red Rock]

Checking back in again...

I looked the other day for the hydration links. Sorry for being a numbskull about not looking those up before I asked everyone. They were very informative. I really liked your evaluation of the Nathan Intensity pack Oakleaf. You must have felt like you struck gold with that. I have a wide variety of Camelbaks, but looking at the make of the Nathan it looks like it would actually fit the body better than the Camelbaks. My problem would be convincing my DH that I would like another one for running.

As it is, I went to our local running shop and have a pair of New Balance trail runners ordered. I have been pondering if I should tell him to get a second pair so I can rotate though the shoes.

If I work through the C25K or the Galloway method, will I actually giving my body a chance to adjust to running? As a result reducing injury? I guess I am affraid of hurting some body part. Can I really over do it with either of these programs?

Thank you,
Red Rock

I have been pondering if I should tell him to get a second pair so I can rotate though the shoes.

Not a bad idea... I think I'd run in the first pair for a couple of weeks, just to make sure that my body liked them, before I dropped more cash on pair number 2.
