Finding others that love trail running has never been an easy task. It is almost as if we are part of a secret society… until now. Out of nowhere we have formed a new community of trail runners deemed Team Dirty Feet and each week it has become fun again checking off the miles of training.
This past week was no different. My Friday nights are not always fun with all the prep work needed to get ready for the trails, not to mention getting to bed early, but as soon as my feet hit the trails I continue to be amazed at how beautiful my surrounds are. I may be running but in a way I feel like I am taking it all in and not missing anything. Sad that everyone does not realize how absolutely wonderful this is.
Following the run and lunch I headed to our local shop to replace my trail shoes. I knew the support was gone but once I noticed that they were splitting on the sides I had no choice but to spend some more cash. Gotta keep out feet happy!!
So here are my new babies……..

I feel the same way when I prep for my rides Sunday morning! I love the team name!
*sniff* *sniff* I want to run with you! Sweet kicks chica! Nothing like a new pair of kicks to make a girl happy :-)
Go Team Dirty Feet! You will kill those trails in those nifty kicks.
There are people that don't like trail running?
The Cascadia 3s are yummy yummy. You're sure to enjoy them. :)
Team Dirty Feet!!! love the name!!
Good luck dirtying those new kicks!!
I love the team name of the new kicks. Sounds like you put together a great group who really enjoy what the trails have to offer.
How fun! New shoes and a cool team name!!
I've enjoyed my runs on the trails. Just wish they weren't so darn hilly :-)
Break them shoes in gentle! No twenty milers first time out!!
Thanks for the recent comment on my blog. I'll definitely add you to my list, some great motivation to keep hitting the road.
I'm really looking forward to the new course at Spinx, but glad I'm only doing the Half. My upcoming key races (Kiawah Half and Shamrock Marathon) are pretty flat. We had Tybee on the schedule too, but it has been cancelled so we are considering Mercedes in Birmingham.
Great to read all the blogs from the Greenville running community. I have not yet ventured onto the trails but fully intend to in the future.
Sweet. There's nothing like new shoes!
Our favorites will always be your first ones--the bright red ones that would show up if you fell off the mountain and into the snow head first! You'll look cool on Saturday!
Love ya,
Susan
Oh, I loved Wes's comment!!
I love the smell of new shoes in the morning!
Those kicks need some gaiters girl...get on it!!!
I haven't gotten into trail running yet but after reading a few different blogs it sounds like a lot of fun. Good luck to ya Dirty Feet!
and......... we'll make sure that you treat them nice and "dirty" on Saturday too .....baby!! ;-0
Sweet ... congrats on your new group.
Have a good run this weekend!
