Trail Running @ Rushing Mountain Streams

I do not run on pavement anymore. I enjoy trail runs because viewing nature is always better than viewing cars. My trail running pace is 10 to 14 minutes per mile depending on the terrain, and of course, if the people I am running with are slower, I go at that pace. Note that if you are a road runner and have never run trails, the pace is usually 2+ minutes slower than a road running pace. Why do I trail run? It is less impact on the body than running on pavement and is kinder to the joints, uses more muscles groups so it improves balance and agility, a great way to connect with nature, and I am having so much fun I want to keep running! Most all of my trail runs are veiled by a thick canopy forest that keeps them cool—perfect for long runs in the summer in Hotlanta! I have run for 40 years and have exclusive done trail running for 12 years. I enjoy trail running distances of 4 miles to a 30k. By experience, it is not easy to find the good spots to trail run in a new city, and if you do find them you may get lost on the trails, so I have decided to help runners visiting Atlanta to find their way around the most beautiful trails in and near Atlanta, Georgia. If you are tired of running the roads, dodging traffic, and smelling the fumes of cars and trucks, come on and lets trail run. When I am not trail running, I am an entrepreneur and business owner for the last 20 years. Being a business owner, I know that with e-mail and even text messaging, it is easier to communicate with more people in the course of a single day, but for some people, it mean devoting less time to the in-person interactions we use to actually build relationships. Golf, at 4+ hours per game, is a traditional path for building relationships with your customers and potential clients. But, not everyone plays golf, and there are more runners than golfers! Therefore, I believe that trail running along scenic routes - at a pace that allows conversation - is a great opportunity to get to know someone and to be known outside the business climate. Trail running, can, like golf, create relationships with fellow runners and allow bonding which can be very valuable. I live in Alpharetta, a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia. I can also design unique trail running experiences in Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina, and South Carolina. In this area, there are lots of hills and mountains, and lots of trails along scenic rivers, creeks, and waterfalls. I can design an one day or multi-day trip to run/jog/hike one or multiple scenic trails that leaves you breathless from the natural beauty. My Motto for my scenic trail running tours: Go Fast Enough to Get There, But Slow Enough to See. My Atlanta running tours could also be termed Atlanta sightrunning or Atlanta running sightseeing.
