Making running interesting: Trail-peats

So after running a big race, I've been kind of lacking motivation to go running in the past few weeks and that has ultimately resulted in me running about 3 times in the course 2 or 3 weeks, which really isn't helpful at all.  So in a bid to hopefully get out running more, I went and joined the lululemon market mall run club.  I actually took part in this when they first started back about a year and a bit ago, or maybe two? But the cool thing is it's free which is sweet, you get to meet some other people that run, and the best thing is you usually find some new running trails/routes that you've never done before.

For those of you that run around the edworthy area, there's these things called the Douglas Fir trails (at least I think that's what they're called) which kind of wind through the trees and it's actually sweet because it'll help build up stability with your muscles which should help prevent injury.  So go check them out, should make you a better runner. There's up, downs, uneveness, tight corners, stairs, and then all the way at the top there is a nice scenic view, and you can run down and start all over again.
