[quote=Anonymous]Trail running is a great way to beat the heat. I also live out 66 and like running on the CCT as there's a trail head near my house. I also really like the loop at Burke Lake - it's 4.5 miles. In my experience, the dogs off lead on the trails are usually really well behaved and don't bother me. As long as this is the case, I don't characterize their owners as jerks. I have more issues with people on bikes who come flying up or around blind corners and nearly run me off the trail. Don't worry about your shoes getting dirty or worn. I like a low profile running shoe for trails as I worry about rolling my ankles more on the uneven terrain, plus the surface is softer so I find I don't need as much cushion in my shoe - Brooks Pureflow and Pure Cadence are pretty inexpensive and I have found them great for trail running. They (Brooks) also make a trail shoe called Pure Grit but I haven't tried those yet. Happy running! [/quote]
