Old Dog New Tricks Trail Runner

They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Really? Up until age 51 I had not run farther than the length of a basketball court and swore I'd never be a "runner." Made fun of them in fact! Then an Achilles injury and subsequent rehab got me started running with my wife in order to get back on the court. Somewhere along the way I got hooked on running and haven't looked back. Then I discovered trails and ultras! I'm late getting into this sport, but sometimes you CAN teach an old dog new tricks. This is my journey.
