Trail Running

Why trail running?

Let someone know where you are going and how long you will be gone.
Know your trails if at all possible or run with a guide.
Better to run with someone.
Stay together if you do run with someone.
Greet people. Make sure they know you are coming up behind them.
Women probably should not run alone in any deep forest in this day and age. There are dangerous animals called men.
Apply coconut oil to your legs and arms to prevent scratches and cuts from razor grass, ferns, and other fauna.
If you do sprain your ankle, walk to the nearest home.
Watch out for rocks.
Do not always look down: watch out for low hibiscus and other branches.
Watch out for hidden downed logs in dense grass. Slow to a walk if you cannot see the trail.
Clay is slippery: walk down wet clay trails.
All rocks should be considered slippery.
