Absolutely terrible run today.  The club was going to do some trail running today so I got there a little early and did 4 miles before the start.  I was having a really hard time breathing will going uphill.  Near the turnaround the trail kind of disappeared and I ended up in running through some brush.  I started to get really worried about snakes.  Running downhill was a lot better and I thought I just needed to warm up.  Started with the club and I was struggling again.  I'm not sure what the problem was.  I struggled through the run and didn't have a whole lot of fun.  Maybe I just needed to get through the first trail run and my body will be more used to it next week.

This is why I am planing to not run with the group this month. Trail running can be fun and has its place but not while you are training for your goal road race...my two cents any way.

Oh are you going to be there tonight? Are you bringing any "soccer players"?

I agree about the trail running. I know that the trail running scares a lot of the group off. We should probably only do it once a month or have a group meet there and at the rec center.

No soccer players tonight. I seriously considered bringing one but thought better of it (to avoid the teasing).

What's wrong with the teasing???? :)

Sorry you didn't have much fun on the trail. :(

Have a GREAT time tonight whatever you all are doing!!! :)

Sorry the first trail run wasn't much fun.

Hope you're having a great evening.
