Alderfer / Three Sisters trail run

Saturday January 7th

I haven’t ran in 2 months. Between holidays and getting sick twice, November and December have not been kind to me. 

I almost bailed Saturday morning. I woke up feeling poorly, but decided I had to stick to the plan.

This is why I make plans and goals. It’s harder to waiver if you’ve already made a commitment to yourself.

Some Starbucks and an hour drive later and I was so glad I stuck to my plan. 

Good morning Colorado, hello sky. 

If you want to experience a glorious yet manageable, aka short, trail run, Alderfer Three Sisters park is a great place to do so. 

Made up of lots of short trails, it’s easy to string a run together in your range. 

Remember that if you’re doing a trail run, it’s harder than running on the street. And if you’re running in the snow on a trail it’s twice as hard as that. Set your running goal based on that assumption and don’t be dissappointed when your run takes quite a bit longer too.
