Dreaming Of Trail Running

So by now, you all know that I dream about running a whole lot more than I actually run ( I am trying out the whole - turning thoughts into reality thing :-)).

As a matter of fact, through writing this blog about running, I have been able to pick up a thing or to from other bloggers out there in cyberspace and have started having better results in actually getting out there to run.

I believe in slow but sure, and the next thing I would like to weave into my ‘from dream to reality’ running habits is trail running. I suppose that this could only be done on weekends really, since I am a city person, but even if I can get in one short trail run in a month, I would be really happy. I think that the Idea would be to get a family picnic together, and make a family outing of it. Hubby and kids can either walk the trail as I run it, or hang out playing soccer till I get back from my monthly romp in nature. I love nature walks and we do do that quite often so all I need to do now is mark the ones that would be good for running on :-) Since it is winter now, I have until about March or April to dream it into reality (seems like an ample amount of time to turn it into the real deal) Eric from Stubborn Running did an amusing post about trail running that really wet my appetite.
