I got into amazing shape running a bunch of trails in Vail over the summer. They're basically all gorgeous.

I posted this in the boston thread before but would love rec's on good trails in the area that aren't super rooty & covered in leaves right now.

I live in downtown Philly so trails are pretty sparse, but I'm running the Wissahickon trails tomorrow morning with a buddy, it's a pretty well-regarded network outside of the city. Gonna be a chilly morning in the woods but it should be rad.

Trail running is to tumbling down a hillside as martial arts is to bar fighting, and that is awesome. I don't get how people can enjoy running unless they're doing it while struggling to keep their legs under them as their scarcely controlled momentum sends them barrelling over uneven rocky terrain.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

It's incwedibwe easy to suck my own dick.

I ran a race on some trails yesterday. I didn't win, but it was great anyway. The aid stations had soup and coffee to help us stay warm, which was very considerate of them because it was 21 degrees F and windy.

Also I've signed up for a January night half marathon on some trails. That will be fun too unless I break an ankle. If I do it will be less fun, but at least I will have a story!

Pushed to the edge, lost it, ate poo poo, no regrets would do again, trail running owns.

Arkansas has a surprisingly large amount of really good trail running spots, and we also have a lot of ultramarathon types. I go short distances fast but I should really work on my endurance, 5 miles is barely anything if you really want to see the back halves of some of these trails. I worked an aid station at the Arkansas Traveler 100-miler and the people that run that are real crazy.

I sprained my ankle on the Dipsea last month and it kept me on the shelf for like 3 weeks

I was running down a steep hill in a city fast as hell and a trashcan blew onto the sidewalk out of nowhere, I didnt have time to swerve and avert it and my animal instincts kicked in and Iept over it and cleared it completely without even slowing down, so I guess the moral of the story is nowhere is safe so always be alert, its a jungle out there.

Since you all SUCK DICKS I went and found a few trails on my OWN. JERKS!!

Harold Parker State Forest – Hilly & rocky/rooty in most places, but relatively secluded and quiet. Buggy.

Middlesex Fells – close to the city so there's more people, but mostly flat, well maintained trails and little road noise, and the best view of Boston I've found.

Danvers Rail Trail – nice for the first couple miles but quickly turns into gross suburban sprawl, quite flat the whole way tho if that's your thing.
