The End of the Trail Running

I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with running. Growing up, I mostly ran only when being chased. I was that overweight kid in middle school who hated the rope climb and loathed the 1-mile run in PE.  

After college, I started running because it was a cheap and quick way to get a good workout regardless of my location. And then I started running more regularly because I “had to” in order to pursue triathlons. Eventually, I came to enjoy and even love being able to explore the outdoors on foot, the rhythm and simplicity of running and that “runner’s high” when you feel like you can glide along forever.
