i am new to trail running and live in santa cruz, ca. i am fit, and have been hiking the local trails for years, but trail running is new to me. i recently took up trail running because injuries have made paddling/rowing problematic for me this season, and i am training for hiking half dome in june, and out of the grand canyon in september. i have been running in arana gulch, wilder, and rancho del oso. i would love to meet other local trail runners. i have some weekday mornings free and would prefer company on the trails, so that i could increase my time/distance and number of days running. i am currently running about 3 miles in about 30 minutes or jog/walking 5 miles in about an hour i also try do 1-2 speed hikes each week in the 9-13 mile range, which takes about 3-4+ hours. hoping to hear from others:)
