Chris and I sat at the finish line of the Pocatello 50 this year (a 50 mile mountain trail run that climbs to the peak of the tallest mountain in our area and then back down all on rocky, sometimes snow covered trails). The runners were coming across the line after 9-15 hours of trail running, with bloody knees and legs from falling on the course! Ouch. That's something. Ever read any of Dean Karnazes' books (Ultramarathon Man)? He tells all kind of details about the difficulties encountered on those kinds of trail runs.Priscillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02994751800920572002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1866352341588565846.post-47398328165953735742012-08-01T21:50:08.843-06:002012-08-01T21:50:08.843-06:00That seems like it would be pretty tricky to run o...That seems like it would be pretty tricky to run on rocky trails!

(We have had a rattlesnake appear on our front porch before because they are around all over these parts!)<br /><br />I would love to start running more "real" trails. I just need to be better at planning for it. There are plenty of hiking trails in the nearby mountains, but most are pretty rocky and steep, so I would need to have someone with me to do it. Maybe this fall when the kids are back in school Chris and I can make that more a part of our routine... :)Priscillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02994751800920572002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1866352341588565846.post-47961905495497931352012-08-01T12:43:25.143-06:002012-08-01T12:43:25.143-06:00I think I'd have a heart attack and die on the...I think I'd have a heart attack and die on the spot if I saw a rattlesnake. Yay for a trail run! I LOVE trail running and also try to hit 3 surfaces a week. You need to hit some hiking trails--they are even more fun!Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00794518757071471089noreply@blogger.com
