Hit the trails.
January 3rd, 2010
I was itching to get out… feeling my heart get fat, and me getting slow, so today I went out and walked on the trails. It was fun. Very fun. Didn’t ride the bike, but I did have some new trail running shoes to try out. Salomon Speed Cross 2. They handle the trail very nicely. I think they will be great trail running shoes, too. If I ever make the change from trail walking (hiking?) to trail running.
So, no biking still, but I did hit the trails, and that was very rewarding. Once I get over this head cold I hope to go through the “Couch to 5k” plan. I have the “Cto5k” app for my phone. I look forward to giving running a chance, again. I hope it will make my knees get some strength back too…
We shall see. I am open to tips. (running, shoes, and or Couch to 5k).
Also I find that my hands often need just a little bit of cover, and was thinking about these: http://www.rei.com/product/766531 Manzella Silkweight Windproof gloves. Anyone recommend?
