Reading this post over at Bad Ben Rambles<\/a>, reminded me of how much I actually miss trail running. Before moving to Minneapolis we lived really close to Mounds State Park<\/a> which provided great trails to run on. You had the basic 5 mile loop and a 3 mile loop with a variety of others. You could always figure out some combination of loops and segments of loops to create the perfect run distance. There was also almost always somebody to run with while there too.<\/p>\n

While I miss those aspects, I also miss the softness of the trails. I’m really tired of pounding the pavement but it isn’t as convenient to get to real dirt trails around here. On Bad Ben’s scale I was definitely falling towards the “bad” end of the pyramid – addiction and now sadly I’m going the other way I’ve only done one trail run since we’ve been here and it was actually on snow pack, not dirt!<\/p>\n

Hopefully as things warm-up I’ll be able to do some long runs on trails or even go race some trails. Minnesota has a trail running series<\/a>. I might check out some of their races throughout the summer.<\/p>\n

On a side note I was able to run on trails over Easter weekend.\u00c2\u00a0 While we were at family’s house in Indianapolis I was able to do almost half of my 14 miler on trails at Fort Harrison State Park.\u00c2\u00a0 It felt great – hills, mud, and good stuff!<\/p>\n
