October Training - 10/1/12-10/6/12

With October comes trail running! :) By far my favorite thing - ever! :) I primarily run in the Metropark closest to my house but on the weekends I try to vary it and run some of the amazing trails the area has to offer. My knees were not happy, which made me unhappy because I've NEVER had knee issues; hips yes but knees, never. I went to the chiro and I think it was just overuse so I thought if I hit up the trails the softer surface would let me keep running AND help prepare me better for the trail race in November.

10/2/12: 1.78 miles at 15:43 per mile - ECP trail, a couple challenging hills
