Don't Look Back

Hey everyone!  Thought I would share something funny that happened on one my last trail runs.  In case you are new to my blog, I love doing trail runs.  If there is a choice between roads and trails, trails win hands down.

I typically do not run with any one else, not my cup of tea.  So I have ran several trails and had gone up a couple times with my wife and with my kids so they can see what all the fuse is about.  The last time Jeneen and I went up Crowders we took a new path that actually involved a little rock climbing along the path.  Needless to say it was a lot of fun and the view was amazing once at the top.



My beautiful wife and best friend.  My Great, Great Aunt Lela used to call her, "Jeneen my Queen" and she is.

So Jeneen my queen and I were at the top and I guess she had enough of my big talk on running trails
and decided to run back down with me.  She is so cool.  So we are running down the mountain with me in front.  Now the trails have lots of rocks, roots, mountain lions, and you name it obstructing the path.  So, me being the courageous guy that I am, decided this was a great time to turn around and say be careful as began to superman it down the mountain trail.  Unfortunately I am not made of steel but I think my pride was more hurt than anything.

So note to self.  When running on trails... don't look back!
