3.5 – 4.0 miles.  Not one of us wore a watch.  Who cares about time or speed or distance? (Says the slow girl that can’t run a more than .50 without crying...)

Dear Monte Sano Trails,

Thank you for reminding me why I love running.  Thank you for bringing together some of my closest friends to do something we love, if only for a short time.  The run couldn’t have been any more perfect.  Running the trails in a torrential downpour is just what I needed after a stressful couple of weeks.  It cleansed my soul.  It soaked my skin  (oh wait, that was just the humidity).  It got me muddy.  It was FUN!  The humidity had to be no less that 3,792%, but I’m not even going to complain about it, I had such a good time.  Trails, I love you so.  Why do I cheat on you so much with the roads?  Why?  I vow to (hopefully) visit you at least once a week for the entire summer.  This affair with the roads (and not a good one, I might add…) needs to end.  You have caught me when I’ve fallen (literally… I’ve tripped many times).  You’re much more cushy and absorbent than that stinkin’ asphalt (that I’ve also taken a bloody spill or two on).  You are always there for me.  I need to show you some respect and come visit.  I’m sorry, trails.

I've missed you my dear friend.

XOXO,

KP

P.S.  Please let me be this happy after my trail half on Saturday.  Please

I need to stop cheating on the trails as well. Ha ha!

You need to stop calling yourself slow, girl! Trails are fun; you know I like them muddy.

You'll do GREAT! So...what were the pics on FB of you in the mud?

I am sure you will be that happy Saturday----ALL DAY!!

Glad you had a good run, watchless is often the best way to get out and just ENJOY.

From Toby on Thu, Jun 10, 2010 at 22:21:10 from 216.194.124.36

You are definitely NOT slow! Hooray for a fun run!

Trails are the best and soooo much fun. I'm with you on the humidity part. Ick! One of these days you should make it out to Utah to try some mountain trails. You would love 'em.

From KP on Fri, Jun 11, 2010 at 09:13:27 from 65.208.22.26

Thanks guys!

Scott - I plan to/want to/hope to. One of these days...

Good luck on Saturday, I think you will have a great time. I'm a road guy right now, but someday I will return to my "roots".

From Nan on Fri, Jun 11, 2010 at 16:40:19 from 174.51.250.151

Nice. You are reminded of your true love. I too love the trails but for now I'm addicted to the speed of the roads. Someday I may "retire" to the trails though.

Have fun on Saturday!
