Slickery

I finally made it out for a run today (i've had to put the training on hold due to a HVAC unit going out and being replaced...) Went to ETSU and did a crazy 8, and then loops 1 and 2 (for those of you who are down with the lingo) The trail was pretty sloppy.... not at all like a wet mud with puddles, but a sticky mud.... the kind that cakes 1 inch thick to your shoes....I frequently had to stop for a second and kick a tree to help in the removal of the mud. As a result, I felt like a "fast and furious" car that uses the "drifting" technique.... not a lot of traction, but just enough to keep it pointed in the right direction!! ( I was especially proud of a 16 inch one-footed slide on a downhill section. If I had a camera, I would have stopped to take a picture of it!!) Felt good to get back out... and in shorts!.... seriously???
