With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

Up hills, down, leaping and bounding over rocks and logs... so much more fun than running in my scary neighborhood. Unfortunately my running partner fractured her foot a little over three miles in. :( We had to limp the last mile or so. It was a real wakeup call; spent the rest of the day in the ER and she won't be running for another six to eight weeks. Reminded me to watch those bones and joints; I'd like to keep using them.

JessicaR Posts: 467 Joined: 2002/08/12	2003/06/30, 02:04 PM Okay, just curious. I have a gift certificate for Cabela's and I was thinking about getting a pair of trail runners. I need new running shoes anyway so I guess I'd be better off w/ just a good general running shoe.
