New -- Trail Running is Fun!

So I was in Gazelles one day while Jim was trying on some running shoes. It was just before Christmas. I overheard one of the employees talking to a customer about a trail running group that they did. I got the information and came home and checked out their facebook page. I sent a request to join the group. I had never did any trail running so I was both scared and excited about trying something new. So after joining the FB group I emailed the DuTri group to let them know about it and see if there were others that were possibly interested.

They meet on Sundays at local trails. They are very kind to allow slower runners to show up and run with the group. They are also good about making sure that we all get out off the trails safely. The first trail run I did with Andrea and Susan. We were hooked! It was an awesome workout! I felt like it was much harder on the cardio side than any run I had done. The first trail run I did was a Seidman Park.

I have since joined the group for runs at Robinette's Apple Haus and Cannonsburg Ski Area. At Cannonsburg they finish with a few hill repeats up the ski hill. It has been a great experience. I wonder if I would like a trail race?!
