It’s Earth Week!

Hi there! Once again it’s time for Tuesday Topics, and this week’s prompt is: It’s Earth Week. How do you stay active outdoors responsibly? I have to admit that this question stumped me a little. When I’m on a trail, of course I follow the rule of leaving nothing behind. But that’s setting the bar pretty low- I hope it goes without saying that I’m not throwing trash around. Sometimes the trails I run on will get overgrown, and then a few weeks later they’re magically cleared. Who does this? Is it the job of the city? Or is it… volunteers? Every once in a while a race director will reach out to the ultra community and send an email announcing an upcoming trail clean up day… but it’s always been a trail far enough away from me that it seems like a job for Other People. What I’m realizing is, I’ve been pretty lame. Trails do not maintain themselves! I’ll find out who’s responsible for clearing the trails in my area. Abruptly changing the subject- let’s talk a little about shoes! I took myself to DSW on Sunday to browse around and I found the perfect pair for the wedding: Okay, seriously. WHO wears shoes like that? Who CAN wear shoes like that? On the other end of the spectrum, I liked these: I just need something in between these two shoes. I am thinking of going back and getting those flip flops, just for everyday life. They really were comfortable!
