    Ran 6 miles yesterday

    I'm training for a half marathon trail run in August. I've been running 5K trail runs but wanted to up it yesterday, so I ran 6 miles. About 4.8 miles in, I started getting dizzy and feeling like throwing up. It was hot and I probably didn't hydrate enough before I started running. I shot...

    Welcome to the community! Very glad to have you here! :) Where are you from? I, too, work behind a computer and hundreds of camera screens (Surveillance Technician), so the outdoors is my escape!

    Dogs on hiking trails

    How do you feel about hikers who bring their dogs on the hiking trail? Are you in agreement with this or do you oppose it? Why? Do you think dogs need to remain on leashes or should they be allowed to roam free? Why or why not? Do you bring your dog with you on hikes?

    Looking for a day hiking backpack

    How about this one? https://www.rei.com/product/201312/osprey-sirrus-24-pack-womens?sku=2013120001&CAWELAID=120217890014005305 I've used Osprey Packs since I started hiking and love them. Some can be noisy at times, but they're durable as heck, and the company will fix any damaged packs, too...

    Instant Coffee

    Do any of you take instant coffee with you on your hiking and backpacking trips? If so, what instant coffee are you taking? I'm sick of Folgers and looking to try something else. I'd prefer as dark and strong as I can get it.
