Hey! So I’m new to trail running and I’m not sure yet about all the roots. During last Saturday’s run, I didn’t fall but I had plenty of trips and stumbles.
A blessing or a curse? I don’t know yet.
What I do know is the trails are challenging me to slow down and pay attention. Both of which I want to do more of in this season. The blessing, the unexpected gift from the roots on the trail.
How about you? What do you want more of? Share with me in the comments below.
Poem of the Day:
WILD AND FREE Reckless runner coming through I’m new on the trails— have no idea what I’m getting myself into The woods are great The pine needles too But boy are these Roots slowing me down Higher than you think Sticking way up from the ground Lift your knees Pay attention You don’t want to fall in the mud Get those sneakers over the root Or you’ll land with a thud Roots rule the trail An obstacle each run Trip stumbles Won’t stop me I respect what I’m Up against I say Run wild and free
A blessing, or a curse? Can't tell.
