Trail Running Follow-up
So as it turns out I don’t hate trail running as much as what I thought I did…
Sunday’s run was MUCH better than the one before, not just because the trail seemed easier but I came prepared with my ipod to blast any negative thoughts from my mind if it was needed. I also carried a small bottle of water this time instead of a full CamelBak, which seemed to make a bit of a difference.
Of course I could have just been having a bad day the first time – so third time will be the decider on Saturday August 15th when I do the next race in the series which forms part of the Gravity Adventure Festival in Kleinmond.
All I can say is that the jury is still out with this trail running thing

Trail Running Series
I’ve been talking about thinking about starting to trail run for ages and on Sunday I decided to stop talking about thinking and actually just DO…
Montrail and CapeStorm have a trail running series which is coming to the Western Cape in July. It consists of 4 runs of which you can choose to do the long (12 – 13km) or short (5-6km) routes, in different locations ranging from Durbanville Hills to Groot Constantia.
I had heard about this trail series from friends of mine and before the Comrades it was a lovely plump carrot on a stick to look forward to – with the promise of a change of scenery, some new faces and hopefully a rekindling of my motivation to run (although my lack of motivation could be due to the horrid weather we are having at the moment).
Have a look at the race details and if you are in the Cape area sign up, would be great to meet you!
