"The mountain giveth" is everything we get out of mountain running. The views, the scenery, the endorphins, and the feeling of accomplishment. "The mountain taketh" is what we need to give back in order to...

    Much like driving a car or riding my motorcycle while alone, I find trail running helps me clear my mind of all the stresses in my life and allows me to think more clearly about my future and solutions to ongoing problems. I once heard, "you cannot be depressed while on a walk through the woods", I feel closer to myself and to the Earth under my feet, nothing brings me more pain and joy than that. Salute my friend!
