Just a general thread about running. How's your running going? What are you training for? Did you get new shoes? Sporting an injury etc.

I went to a local park by myself today and did the trail there. It was 3.22 mi (5.18 km).

It was hell.

The middle 60% of the route was a dirt path. Except it rained recently, and due to ongoing cloud cover the middle 60% was actually mud.

It was like trying to walk on a slip & slide. It was frustrating in the extreme. I persisted because I’m stubborn and not terribly sensible.

Never again will I attempt that trail, even if there hasn’t been any recent rain.

What I do need to do, is find a local park with a dirt path that has better drainage. Jogging on sidewalks is starting to make my feet hurt.
