I went for a run today even though I knew it would be pretty muddy. Little did I know. I fell twice early on, hard. Then I slowed down a lot. At the turnaround point, I decided to explore other trails to see if they were less muddy, but they were not. At one point, a huge oak tree had fallen down across the trail, so I had to go into the woods to go around it. I saw I was walking through poison ivy. such an enjoyable run. I got through the rest of the run without falling down, but it was quite slow.
I didn't think trail running was supposed to be a contact sport!
