The Joys of trail running

I was searching around for other running related blogs and came across this post at Run On Earth.com.

  1. For every mile you run on trails, you add one minute to your life. This enables you, at the age of 85, to spend an additional five months in a nursing home at $5,000/month.
  2. The only reason you took up trail running was to hear heavy breathing again.
  3. I have to run early in the morning, before my brain figures out what I’m doing.
  4. I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.
  5. The advantage to trail running every day is that you die healthier
  6. If you are going to take up cross-country running, it helps to start with a small country.

I found it quite amusing. They have some other ways to tell you are a trail runner, but I’ll let you grab those directly from his site.

  1. Thanks for the support on the ultra. I run daily, and a lot, but just haven’t gone for a “big one” yet. I’m sure the rush will push me into more.
