    I had to switch to trail running because my doctor said pavement was pounding my knees into hamburger. :/ I already have arthritis, and I want to keep running. I love the trail running, don't get me wrong, but it still bugs me a little bit that I can't find a social group. I went for a 5K road run every week with a local running group and we had a beer after. Can't find that kind of group socialization for trails and I miss it.

    Why don't you start one? Post some flyers near your local trails and running shops and see if anyone else would be interested.

    I am still pretty new to running so I am not the strongest running, but I do try and go on a trail run once a week on my only day off and love it.

    I dearly love trail running. Unfortunately where I live now does not have trails close by (or at least any that I know of). So I'm stuck running on an asphalt trail. :sad:

    It looks fun but I am afraid I will fall on the tree roots on the trails in VA.
