It's a perfect day out for Veteran's Day, so I decided a trail run was in order. Seemed like a good way to start Running Year Three, and a good Machu Picchu training idea for next summer. I went to the Middlesex Fells, determined not to get lost. Well, I sort of didn't get lost, though I don't totally know where I was. I had my Fitbit on, and it thinks I went about 5 miles in total, though I only ran for the first 35 minutes, then I walked on the Skyline Trail (so I could enjoy it a little more). I did manage to find my way around for the most part, and I didn't run into anyone who was naked, or peeing while holding a cigarette (I will charitably assume that's what I ran into before). I only asked for directions twice. I have absolutely no idea how far I ran - I tried to figure it out on Map My Run, and really couldn't.
Trail running was not bad. It's easier on a wider trail. The downhills are hardest, especially with the leaves on the ground. There's a trail running class through Meetup that I may try, the guy who leads it works at LL Bean, so it's really a Bean trail running class.
This year has been an awesome fall foliage year. So nice!

About Me
- The Lazy Cretins
- I am not an athlete. I mean, really not an athlete. You know how by the time you are in second grade or so you know where you fall in the kickball team choosing order? I knew I was last round, even if a friend was captain. It's OK, I was good at the rest of school. But now it's time to push the boundaries and work on some fitness.
