Today was a first, the first day since snowmageddon that we (the merry little band of Oly trail runners), and more importantly I, got out for a run on the trails. No one expected that they would be in very good condition and we were not let down. We spent a little over two hours out there and covered five miles (maybe). We spent a lot of time trying to clear the trail of the down debris that could be moved without the assistance of a chainsaw.

I love these kind of runs. The ones that are more adventure than run. Sure, it is good to be able to run and not worry about anything else, but that isn't why I do it. I do it because I like the adventure and I like the camaraderie of the people I am out on the trail with. For a activity that is very much a loner sport, it is the people that really make it for me.
