2nd Team Sakina run

We did the Philosopher's Trail - about 7k or 4.3 mi. It was much harder for me this time than it was during the race a few weeks back. I ran considerably faster (finished in about 45 or 50 minutes, rather than the 59ish minutes it took me during the race). I definitely like taking it a little slower. But it was beautiful.

I'm so glad this summer will be full of trail races. One thing I've missed since having Ruby is not camping or hiking. I never did much of either before she was born but I did manage to do a little of each every now and then. There's no real reason we can't take her camping now - we just haven't. So, getting out into nature, even if it's in the middle of CH, twice a week is a real treat. It smells like camp and reminds me of another time...

Also, doing the twice weekly trail runs with the team will make road running more fun. I get bored with some of the same road routes but now I won't need to do them quite as often. But I think I can probably manage to do mostly trail runs this summer.
