Running is one of the best solutions to clear a mind

Truthfully I wasn’t exactly lost but I did have some interesting conversations with myself. Today I found myself in the River Bend x-country ski rails.

Just so you know… that’s what you do when you run long distances alone – YOU TALK TO YOURSELF. Mostly I talk to myself under my breath so if by chance I do run into another person they won’t think I am totally mad.

I love trail running. I love trail running. I can’t say enough how great I feel when I am out on a trail enjoying nature. It takes me back to a lot of experiences when I was younger. This afternoon I had several flashbacks of working in the fields during harvest time, the sound of my grandfather’s chainsaw and picking blueberries in the woods.

Isn’t weird when certain environments trigger forgotten memories?

All that aside, I had a nice steady run with bursts of speed to shake things up. I figured out how the perimeter trail connects with the ski trails and doing so makes my life easier for the next trail run.
