Hoy hoy!

Hi everyone. I'm Emily. I teach high school in a remote area of the Navajo Reservation and am lucky enough to be able to run all over the rez here. I also coach cross country, so I drag the kids along with me! I get out to run marathons that are "close by" - Phoenix was my last one. My best trainer - my rez rescue dog, Two Boots. She's a lab/collie/heeler mix and never lets me miss a run, even when the students have worn me out. Some of my favorite runs out here include running through arches, past petroglyphs, and under cliff dwellings. Though I have to admit I could do without the sand storms that are frequent right now!

Sounds like some great running. Welcome! Hope you can share some trail knowledge with us. I've stuck stricly to the road but would really like to hit the trails

We have 1 paved road out here, so it's trail by necessity! First rule - watch where you step! Second, stop every 5 miles or so to dump the sand out of your shoes
