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?
