I started running again recently, with my goal being to complete some long races this year. It has been about a year since I have been in good enough shape to run more than 5 miles, but hopefully I will get that back soon.

I like running through the woods, it is difficult, and keeps me from getting bored.
unfortunately after a big rain (or snow) the trail gets so muddy, it becomes almost impossible to run without slipping an falling.

as you see here.

Also I am totally guilty of listening to the Black Eyed Peas while running.
