I have change up my training strategy a bit lately. I am trying to avoid running on pavement and sidewalk as much as possible. Which is great because that means that I get to run trails everyday. The trails seem to be more gently and forgiving on my knees than the roads are. I ran the Mueller Park Trail again. I run this trail a lot because it is a great trail and it is very close to my house. The run felt good today and the early morning weather was great. On the way down I passed a few other runners and a few bikers. This trail is very busy during the summer. I think I will run this trail again tomorrow.

I need to focus more on trails too. I can feel it in my knees every time I run on the road. I think I'll head back to the pipeline trail tomorrow morning.

Trail running is great this time of year. It is a lot cooler in the canyons right now than it is out on the roads.
