I love trail running! I don't do it enough but I love the twists and the turns, the ups and the downs. It breaks up the monotony I sometimes feel running the same routes near my house. Eugene has some great trails nearby. One of my current favorites is the Ridgeline. It's not crowded and it's close but you don't feel like you're in the city anymore. I took a few pics when I was up there last week . I wish I could carry a camera with me more often but I don't often have the pockets or want it bouncing around. Any suggestions on small, lightweight cameras?

Yeah, this was on the Ridgeline. There was quite a bit of up and down and my lungs felt tight until about halfway through. I'm looking forward to improving the time on this out and back.

One of those days where I couldn't slow down. Didn't need to run this fast but my brain and legs just kept turning over.

This is day one of the 12 week marathon training. I've had some problems in my right foot indicating possible development plantar fasciitis, but not a ton of pain with it. I think my Achilles is tight, along with the tendon along the bottom of the foot. I'll be stretching it a lot more now and see if that helps.

10x400 repeats with 200m recovery. 1.5 mile warm up and 1 mile cool-down. Will use the foam roller tonight as well. Average of 6:46/mi pace on the 400m repeats.
