Having lived in the Santiam Canyon area of Oregon for the past 17 years or so, I've explored and fished quite a bit of the river system and would like to share some of what I've learned.
The North Santiam is a very diverse and rich system with a variety of fishing options. Rainbow Trout, Cutthroat Trout (resident), Summer and Winter Steelhead and Spring Chinook Salmon are present in the system at various times of year which make the Santiam a year round fishery. The Tributaries of the Santiam above Detroit Reservoir contain Rainbows and fall runs of Kokanee Salmon (landlocked Sockeye).
Here's a bit of the basic information about the river system, borrowed from Wikipedia:
The North Santiam River is a tributary of the Santiam River, approximately 90 miles long, in western Oregon in the United States. It drains an area of the Cascade Range on the eastern side of the Willamette Valley east of Salem.
It rises in the high Cascades in eastern Linn county, northwest of Three Fingered Jack in the Willamette National Forest. It flows north through the mountains past Marion Forks, receiving the drainage from the western slope of Mt. Jefferson. Near Mt. Jefferson it turns sharply west, descending through a canyon past Idanha, Detroit, and Gates. It emerges through the foothills into the Willamette Valley near Stayton, then flows briefly southwest through the valley where it joins the South Santiam River from the northeast to form the Santiam approximately 15 miles southwest of Stayton. The confluence is approximately 10 miles east of the confluence of the Santiam and the Willamette River.
It is impounded by Detroit Dam in the mountains west of Detroit to form Detroit Lake for flood control. Detroit Lake State Park is located along the southern shore of the lake.
In the 19th century the canyon of the North Santiam River provided a formidable obstacle to settlers. The construction of a railroad in 1887 opened up the canyon to settlement and logging of the surrounding mountains.
The headwaters of North Santiam River originate at Marion Lake, which is a location of numerous wildlife species. This headwaters area is a breeding location for a number of amphibians including the rough-skinned newt.
Trout Fishing
Resident Rainbow and Cutthroat Trout are available in the 10-16″ range (norm) with fish reaching into the upper teens and low 20′s on occasion (Below Detroit Reservoir). Both species exhibit typical preferences and habits and will take both dry and wet fly offerings.
The cutties are quite aggressive and you will be able to tell the difference prior to seeing the fish. They will "slam" your flies hard, make furious runs and acrobatic leaps. More than once I've been swinging steelhead flies and had a bite I was sure was a steelie – yanking the 8 wt. tip over in a hard takedown -for a few brief seconds anyway. The cutts will hit just about anything. I've hooked 8″ cutthroat on big #1 steelhead/salmon flies. They really don't care what they're hitting when they are in their more aggressive state.
Caddis flies are probably the most effective – in any form. Dries such as the Elk Hair Caddis and the Goddard Caddis (the later being my favorite summer fly) are two flies you'll want in your box. Emergers and Nymphs should also be carried. Gold Ribbed Hares Ear, Prince and Rabid Prince nymphs do quite well. Have a supply in sizes 6-12 with and without bead heads. Many sections of the river a fast moving so the bead heads will come in handy to keep your presentations low in the water column. Mayflies (Callibaetis) and Midges are present most of the year.
By far the most exciting time of year is late summer/early fall. The October Caddis hatch brings out the big bugs. Fishing large (4-8) Caddis patterns with lots of orange/rust colors (dries and nymphs) will get you into fish. Egg patterns can also be effective this time of year, especially when fished downstream from spawning salmon and steelhead.
One thing to keep in mind when trout fishing the North Santiam – all fish are to be released unharmed. This regulation is in place to protect the young steelhead that are making their way to the Pacific Ocean. The Steelhead smolts in the 6-8″ range are very difficult to distinguish from a rainbow trout.
Choose 4- 5 wt. rods in the 8'6′ – 10′ range with floating line for most situations, 9-10′ leaders with 4x tippet will serve you well.
Trout Fishing on the Tributairies of the North Santiam and above the dam (Brietenbush, Upper North Fork and Little North Fork) can be a little more technical. Smaller streams with fast water and heavy brush makes things a little trickier. You'll want to size down with your flies (12-18) and go with longer leaders.
Steelhead Fishing
Steelheading the Santiam Canyon is a year-round sport with peaks in April-August and again in December-Febraury. With both a summer and winter run, there are fish in the river system the entire year. Hatchery rasised fish will normally run 26-28 inches , with the natives being somewhat bigger (30-32″). Use 7-9 weight rods with both floating and sink tip lines and 6-9 ft leaders with 1x tippet.
Fly selection is all over the board. Everything from Dark Stonefly Nymphs to big ol' Moal Leaches. I generally begin the season (January – March) with either a weighted egg pattern fished along the bottom or large (1.5-3) Spey and Dee flies using the wet fly swing technique.
Bright colored Popsicles and Speys are called for in high and murcky water conditions.
As the spring and summer progress, downsizing and muting the colors is required. More #2-6 hairwing flies are in order here. Skaters and Bombers are often a good choice in the late summer/early fall months.
Salmon Fishing
The Spring Chinook run is generally from April-June. The last few years have seen low returns and I don't often fish for them specifically.
Kokanee are numerous in Detroit Reservoir and make a fall run up the Brietenbush River and Upper North Fork of the Santiam. The fish transform (like their ocean going cousins) and develop a hooked jaw, humped back and turn from silver to deep red prior to moving upstream to spawn. Egg patterns and chironomids can work. The fish are not feeding, but will defend their spawning beds.
Final Thoughts
The North Santiam area is a great family destination. The upper river has many parks and campgrounds. Detroit Reservoir offers great boating (sail and powerboat) and water skiing. Hike into the high Cascade Lakes, gather huckleberrys and Chanterelle Mushrooms in the fall months, and of course, fishing opportunities are numerous.
If you're considering a trip to the area and are in need of a fishing guide, give Oregon Outdoor Excursions a call at 503-767-BITE.

Exchange Controls, Devaluations and Real Exchange Rates: The Latin American Experience
AbstractThis paper deals with the anatomy of devaluation in Latin America. In an effort to understand the economics surrounding the causes and consequences of exchange rate crises, eighteen devaluation episodes that took place between 1962 and 1982 are investigated in detail. The paper focuses on: (1) the relation between (inconsistent) macroeconomics policies and exchange rate crises; (2) the role of real exchange rate overvaluation in the precipitation of balance of payment crises under pre-determined nominal exchange rates; (3) the role of exchange controls, multiple exchange rates and black markets in the period preceding devaluations; and (4) the effectiveness of nominal devaluations as a way to restore real exchange rate equilibrium. A distinction is made between stepwise devaluations and crawling peg regime. It was found that historically most stepwise devaluations have had difficulty in sustaining a real devaluation over the medium term. Countries that adopted a crawling peg have generally been able to maintain a higher real exchange rate. In many cases, however, this has been achieved at the cost of substantial inflation.

Man: Your body is like a temple.
Woman: Sorry, there are no services today.
A country wife came home just in time to find her husband in bed with another woman. With superhuman strength, borne of fury, and cutting firewood, lifting sacks of feed, and bales of hay, she dragged him down the stairs, out the back door, and into the barn. She put his manhood in a vice, secured it tightly, and removed the handle. Next, she picked up an old carpenter's saw. The banged up cheater was terrified and hollered, "Stop! Stop! You're not gonna cut it off with that rusty saw, are you?" The wife, with a gleam of revenge in her eye, put the saw in her husband's hand and said, "Nope. You are! I'm gonna burn down the barn!"
A man is at work one day, when he notices that his co-worker is wearing an earring. The man knows his co-worker to be a conservative guy, and is curious about his sudden change in fashion sense. The man walks up and says, "I didn't know you were into earrings." The co-worker responds sheepishly, "Don't make such a big deal out of this, it's only an earring." The man falls silent for a few minutes, but then his curiosity prods him to say, "So how long have you been wearing one?" The co-worker responds, "Ever since my wife found it in my truck."
Why do married men gain weight and bachelors don't? The bachelors go to the refrigerator, see nothing they want, then go to bed. Married guys go to bed, see nothing they want, then go to the refrigerator.
Our last fight was my fault. My wife asked me,"What's on the TV?" I said, "Dust."

Demand for newly built single-family homes in the U.S. is holding steady at a healthy level in March, according to builders surveyed for the National Association of Home Builders' (NAHB) latest Housing Market Index (HMI). The HMI remained unchanged from February's 64 reading this month.
"The tremendous pace of home sales in last year's final months has apparently given way to a more sustainable level of activity in early 2004," said Bobby Rayburn, NAHB president and a home and apartment builder from Jackson, MS, U.S. "This climate of stability is a positive sign heading into the spring home buying season," he added.
Favorable financing conditions, solid house-price performance, and excellent demographics continue to drive the new-homes marketplace, added NAHB Chief Economist David Seiders. "Builders evidently are deriving confidence from these developments and registering realistic expectations for the future," he said, noting that "a gradual downward drift has occurred in the HMI from its highs of late 2003, in tandem with ongoing concerns about the job market and lower consumer confidence readings."
The HMI is derived from a monthly survey of builders that NAHB has been conducting for the last 19 years. Home builders are asked to rate current sales of single-family homes as "good," "fair," or "poor." They are also asked to rate traffic of prospective buyers as "high to very high," "average," or "low to very low." Scores for responses to each component are used to calculate a seasonally adjusted index, where any number more than 50 indicates that more builders view sales conditions as good than poor.
Two out of three of the HMI's component indexes slipped in March. The index gauging current sales of new single-family homes fell two points to 69, while the index gauging sales expectations for the next 6 months declined three points to 70. Meanwhile, the index gauging traffic of prospective buyers rose two points to 48, indicating some slight improvement in the flow of visitors to model homes over the last month.

To open up the main card of UFC Fight Night 32: Belfort vs. Henderson, The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil winner Rony "Jason" Mariano Bezerra took on Jeremy Stephens in what many expected to be an action packed featherweight bout.
While there was plenty of action early, the bout did not last long thanks to a perfectly timed head kick from Stephens.
Stephens baited Rony Jason into dipping his head right into the quick and it immediately knocked the Brazilian out cold. Stephens tacked on an additional punch for good measure, as he brough an end to the bout at just 40 seconds in to the fight.
Afterwards, Jason took his frustration out in the locker room where he ended up punching through a wall and cutting himself. As a result, he needed to make a trip to the local hospital.
White confirms Rony Jason punched the wall and cut his arm after his loss. "This stuff happens," he said. "You do stupid stuff sometimes."
— Guilherme Cruz (@guicruzzz) November 10, 2013
You would like to see a fighter compose himself better after a fight, but like Dana White said, "you do stupid stuff sometimes."
Jason has plenty of room left to mature, but hopefully he will be able to channel this energy in the right direction as he looks to bounce back in his next UFC appearance.

When the new owners of Shear Style Salon took over in early 2012, they transformed the hair and nail salon into a full-service beauty emporium. Though sleek styling services and mani-pedis continue to anchor the menu, the spa's team of aestheticians now tends to skin across the body with luxurious facials and scrubs.
Nails that aren't properly cared for may rebel by chipping, discoloring, or pursuing careers in theater. That's where the Happy Nails team comes in. Skilled technicians shape nails, care for cuticles, and decorate to keep first impressions positive. The salon's polish inventory is diverse and includes Bio Seaweed Gel, which offers durable semipermanent color without damaging nail plates. Guests may also receive beautifying services such as waxing and eyelash extensions.
Licensed aesthetician Elizabeth Prather has been making skin glow since 1992. She brings her skincare expertise to complexions during microdermabrasion and oyxgenation facials, which deep clean pores and leave skin smooth. Along with facial treatments, she beautifies clients with waxing services and eyelash extensions.
Face Enhancements' skincare treatments include facials, peels, and body scrubs, all designed to restore youth and radiance. Take the parsley-and-cucumber oxygenating treatment, which tones and purifies skin and spurs cellular repair, or the Flaxx-C anti-aging facial, which helps smooth wrinkles and tighten the skin. Face Enhancements also offers lash extensions, nail treatments, and permanent makeup.
Classy Nails is a Mobile Nail Salon. I do have a space were I do nails at but, I love going to different locations.
A good spa will transport its guests to a time and place where everyday stresses are forgotten. American Image Salon & Spa can take you to a rainforest waterfall, for example—its monsoon massage sends the gentle mist of a Vichy shower cascading onto backs and shoulders. If you'd prefer a steamier setting, opt for the hot-stone massage, during which a therapist banishes tension with kneads and strategically placed lava rocks. There are also packages that provide even longer, more luxurious escapes, such as the 6.5-hour Day of Beauty: a Clarisonic facial, massage, mani-pedi, shampoo, makeup application, and lunch.
Sometimes, however, a visit to the spa or salon is a quick reward in the middle of the day. That's why the staff here administers most of the standard treatments for the hair, nails, and body. Stylists trim new 'dos and flatten frizz with Chi Enviro smoothing formulas, or nourish the skin with specialized facials. Manicures might feature add-ons from a seaweed mask to a layer of eco-paraffin, a more environmentally friendly way to soften the hands than by wrapping them in live ferrets. Gentlemen are hardly neglected, either. Their services include haircuts as well as mustache- and beard-tinting.

Concrete bathroom countertops are a stylish and economical option that can complement just about any bathroom design.
Concrete is one of the most readily available and economical materials used in bathroom countertop design. It works for just about any bathroom style, but it's particularly popular in modern and contemporary bathrooms, where its sleek, minimalist style has a chance to shine.
Concrete is also one of the more eco-friendly materials used in countertop construction, as it can be made from all-natural materials.
Concrete bathroom countertops can be finished and sealed in many different styles and a wide range of colors, or they can be left raw and more-or-less unfinished for a smooth, matte look.
One thing to remember when choosing your concrete bathroom countertop style is that unfinished concrete can be susceptible to chipping, scratching and cracking. So even if you're considering going with an "unfinished" look, you can explore a range of sealants and finishes that will approximate the look but protect the surface.

ôYou donĺt ever really feel great against that guy, because heĺs one of the best closers in the league, if not the best. You certainly donĺt feel great about it, but you feel better than if youĺve got one out, nobody on,ö Leyland said.
ôYeah, it gave us a chance with Victor hitting. It gave us a shot. You canĺt ask for much better game than that. You get thrown out at the plate with two outs in the ninth, and they made the play.ö
ôIĺm not taking Prince Fielder out of the game. Iĺm not going to do it. Itĺs just the way it is. Iĺm not going to run for him. I wonĺt take Miggy out when heĺs 100 percent healthy. Victorĺs really the only guy that you slam-dunk run for, for me. Thatĺs the way I do it.ö
ôI donĺt question that one. Youĺre not going to get many hits off that guy, and you could leave him stranded there pretty easily with that guy pitching, so if you think you got a good chance, you gotta take that chance, whether thereĺs one out, or two out.
ôWith two out, it was a no-brainer. Brookie made the right call, without question.
ôReally, they executed that play to perfection. The only thing was, when I saw the throw coming in, I thought he might get a bad hop, but he made a terrific pick of that ball, and tag. You gotta tip your cap to them. They made a big defensive play when they had to.
ôBut thatĺs a no-brainer to send him there.ö

Beginning gardeners as well as gardening veterans can head to the Pond Expo in Crown Point for ideas and inspiration, said Kathy Bartley, the expo chair for the Illiana Garden and Pond Society.
"Gardening is making your yard a special room that you can enjoy," she said. "We try to appeal to a lot of different people and let them know what they can put in their gardens."
The 12th annual Pond Expo will be held at the fairgrounds on April 27 and 28th in the Industrial Arts building.
"We transform the Industrial Arts building, and have it completely landscaped," she said. "You walk in and meander through paths, and can stop to see the vendors."
Last year, more than 2,500 people visited the expo, and the event is expected to attract at least that many this year, she said.
The expo began as a way to inspire members and educate people about how to do pond gardening, Bartley said. It has expanded to include wood carvings, sculptures, and other products that can enhance your garden.
"We have nurseries, groups that sell plants and fish, and all kinds of artwork, ironwork or sculptures for your garden," she said.
Bartley said the show is unique and inspiring for all who visit.
"We have vendors who can show you how to set up a pond, or who can give you different ideas about what to put into your garden," she said. "They can show you how to connect your house to the garden through blocks or other ideas."
There will be about 60 vendors, as well as seminars presented by the Lake County Master Gardeners. The master gardeners will be giving away seed packets to the first 500 attendees each day.
There will also be rescue groups, American Greyhounds and Settlers Pond, who will be promoting their upcoming events and fundraisers.
There also will be a group from North Carolina State University who will be surveying people and providing information about invasive species in the Midwest.
"If you need products, supplies or ideas, we have them," she said. "It's one-stop shopping for any kind of gardener."
Some of the latest trends include pond gardens that don't involve pooling water, at all.
"There are pondless waterfalls," she said. "You don't need a pond with fish, but you can still have the feel and sound of a water garden."
Bartley said the most important thing is that people achieve a state of calm and tranquility with their garden.
"We want you to have the feel that you've got an oasis for your hard," she said. "It's an inspirational event. It inspires people to let them know they can do anything they want with their yard."

Welcome to my Profile, I recommend you enjoy this song while reading this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7EXEErvi_4. It is John Cena's Basic Thuganomics song.
Well I think I'll start with my name, Its Jesus Gonzalez, I am 19 Yeas old, I live in Fabulous Las Vegas, I've Been a Wrestling fan since 2002.
My favorite Wrestlers are
1. CM Punk and The Ryback
CM Punk is my favorite star, He's the reason i started watching Wrestling again when it got completely unbearable in The Guest Host era. He also helped me in a positive way finally driving it home that you don't need to drink and do drugs to be fun or successful or feel accepted.
The Ryback is my favorite star because he's the first star that I generally want to succeed and be a mega star. He isn't the best wrestler but in the end i never really cared how much moves a wrestler knew or did, as long as you entertained me i was a fan and he has. His Mic skills are really underrated on here, He certainly has surpassed " No Offense" Ziggler and Wade Barrett. FEED ME GOLDBERG!.
2. John Cena
I never really cared for Cena even during his Thuganomics days, I liked him and he entertains me but I never really became a fan of him until he became this wise cracking face. I am a fan of him because he deals with hostile crowds and manages to turn them for him.
3. Kurt Angle
I loved chanting You Suck at him, I enjoyed watching him win the World Heavyweight Championship in 2006 and always enjoyed his matches. His promos were so hilarious " Your Momma taught me how!!" and him as Smackdown GM were great times especially that Big Show Chokeslam I literally thought he might have been completely knocked out.
4. Chris Benoit
I felt so estatic when i saw him with The World Heavyweight Championship and World Tag Team Championship at the same time. I was so glad to see him be a force to reckon with. The only reason i saw raw when it was the Evolution Variety Hour. After 2007 i can't even watch his old matches.Great Wrestler and entertainer.
5. Eddie Guerrero
I always loved Eddie, His great matches,his Mic Work, his overall character. My favorite promo will be when he had Rey's bloody mask in the ring and when he was sitting in a chair he kept talking to it which instead of getting me mad it got me laughing because he looked absolutely ridiculous lol. He also gave me my first favorite match, When he faced Edge on smackdown in a Ladder Match it was so awesome to see who would win. RIP Eddie.
My least favorite Wrestlers
1. Kevin Nash
His comments regarding Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit were uncalled for and well deservingly backfired into his face.
2. New Jack
He stabbed someone for not following the script. I don't care how much you take kayfabe seriously it is completely unacceptable to stab someone.
My favorite era of Wrestling 2002-2007 Smackdown. You will be missed can't miss Friday Night Smackdown.
My general tastes
Television SHows
1. Storage Wars
2. The Boondocks
3. Arthur
5. Dragonball Z
Favorite Movies
1. The Dark Knight
2. Shrek 2
3. Jurrassic Park 2
4. Despeciable Me 2
5. Rugrats in Paris the Movie
I find it funny how Cena still sells merch and people still hate him.
You stole my picture. :(
Cool profile.
Check out my bio please! =D
Your Welcome
Yeah I'm watching it right now. I can't wait for Punk/Lesnar and D-Bry/Cena.
Reel update!
I'm not sure actually. Maybe RVD since at first I wasn't looking forward to his return but he proved me wrong with his performance at MITB.
Yeah my bio was waaay longer (it was the Reel, but since it was old, and since I have a problem to solve, I took it down). And the Reel's been going on for 4 months.

Sevierville to get new movie theater
Knoxville-based Phoenix Theatres plans to build a new 12-screen, 50,000-square-foot movie theater complete with stadium seating, arcade and birthday room in Sevierville.
The theater, expected to open in the fall of 2008, will be located in the Allensville Square shopping center on Winfield Dunn Parkway, near the new Home Depot.
Phil Zacheretti, Phoenix principal, said the area was in need of a new theater because of the extraordinary retail and residential growth that has occurred in recent years.
The new theater would be Sevier County's second. Reel Theatres of Sevierville currently operates six screens.
Read more about the new theater in tomorrow's News Sentinel.

Snow Emergencies In Effect Around Albany Area
In case you hadn't noticed, mother nature decided to remind us that it is in fact winter and we are still in the northeast. Now there are several snow emergencies in effect.
In case you hadn't noticed, mother nature decided to remind us that it is in fact winter and we are still in the northeast. Now there are several snow emergencies in effect.
People in the Albany area have been pretty lucky so far this winter. Mild weather and virtually no snow, but that is about to change with a storm on it's way for Wednesday.
Everyone has a ton of snow storm photos in the Albany NY area. We always gets more than our fair share of snow storms (most winters), and we can never see enough great photos of snow. If you ski or board, it's heaven for you - or if you have children in your life, it's a great joy to watch them playing in the snow. Check out our photo gallery of snow photos!
Meeting two beautiful European women in Miami who want to get you drunk and take advantage of you sounds like every guy's dream, right? Not this guy. Not anymore, anyway.
Meet John Bolaris, former weather forecaster for the Fox TV affiliate in Philadelphia. His life
This past weekend most people celebrated Halloween since it is tomorrow- on a Monday, yuck! As I went to my Facebook page I saw a lot of my friends had posted pictures from their Halloween parties and ventures. However, with the fun came two snow storms that made headlines everywhere. Today, all weather advisories are over. Too bad the snow couldn't have waited until the holiday weekend was over!
It's hard to believe that we're already delivering this news but Mother Nature continues to be nasty to us in 2011 as we are facing a pretty severe winter storm and it's only October! After the jump read the warning from the National Weather Service in Albany as well as some information you may need to know as the storm rolls in.
Just when you thought it was safe... it's lurking nearby...coming close while you sleep...lock the windows... stay indoors... it's deadly and by tomorrow morning it will kill everything in its path!! The first frost of the season is on it's way Thursday morning according to the National Weather Service.
The place beyond the pines is now partly underwater.
UPDATED @ 3P -The barge with the crane on it has been corralled on the Mohawk River and officials are attempting to make it a more permanent mooring. The Twin Bridges have reopened.
A 40 ft runaway barge with a 30 foot crane on top is heading toward the Twin Bridges, prompting authorities to close the bridges
We just received word that Schenectady and the Town of Niskayuna are advising residents who are in low lying areas from Lock 7 to the Albany County line to evacuate immediately due to a possibility that Lock 7 may fail.
One of Hurricane Irene's unfortunate structural victims this weekend was the 141-year-old Bartonsville Covered Bridge in Bartonsville, Vermont.

There are different theories out there about what constitutes a good running gait - in terms of efficiency and reduction in the risk of injury. I found the book "Tread Lightly" to be quite helpful, although it is quite a detailed read. You can also google Tread Lightly to find some free information from the authors of the book.
You also might want to think about strength exercises focusing in particular on the muscles, joints and ligaments that support running - especially around ankles, feet, knees and hip flexors. I have a blog entry from last summer (A Few Simple Exercises for Runners) that includes suggested exercises from my trainer.
A really simple one to consider that I think will help with trail running is simply balancing on one foot while barefoot. You can fit this easily into your daily routine, e.g., while brushing your teeth, waiting for the coffee to perk, waiting for your kids to do something, etc. Start by trying to balance on one foot, arms relaxed at your sides, for 30 seconds, while barefoot. Build up to a minute, then try it with your eyes closed. When you're starting out, or when you start the eyes-closed version, it's helpful to stand near something (like a wall or a counter) so that you can grab it if you lose your balance. You can also build this one-footed balancing routine into upper body strength exercises with dumbbells. I do my bicep curls and lateral raises while standing first on one foot, then the other. I get more of a workout (more muscles engaged, so the workout is more efficient), too.
What is a good incline to start with?
I personally find asphalt to be a pretty good surface. It is obviously less forgiving then dirt or a treadmill, but a little softer than concrete. It tends to be a stable surface.
I agree completely that running carefully, advancing distance slowly, and switching surfaces wisely is not harmful to the knees.
Have you been running with incline on the treadmill? If not, start doing so, if your outdoor running will involve hills. A sudden severe increase in hill running can really tick your IT band off! Take it from a Colorado runner!
"I just felt like running." Forrest Gump
How your knees, or any other part of your body, reacts to going from treadmill to asphalt, will also depend on how long you have been running. It's possible that your knees will be fine. If you want to start running on asphlalt, however, you may want to ease into it.
Running in and of itself doesn't hurt your knees. I had a knee injury when I was 15 and throughout most of my life every time I ran my knee would hurt for days afterward. Then when I was in my mid 40s a friend suggested I go a running store to get fitted for shoes, and that's all it took. The knee gives me less problems today than it did before I started running.
"God gave you your body as a gift, so you should take care of it." - My Mom
Thanks for the input! Guess it's time to track down a good shoe store and start there. I'll also cut back to one trail run a week so my body can adjust.
How is the transition from treadmill to asphalt? Is it going to pound on my knees more than the trail? My knees were fine on the trail-just trying to get an idea on what to expect.
While my preferred running surface is dirt trails, they are far less 'stable' than a treadmill or concrete, with a lot of minor (and not so minor) unevenness (especially if cyclists use the trail too, lots of tire groves). This can really crank on your ankles if you aren't used to it.
I agree, get the shoes checked. And I am a big believer in gradual change. If you have mostly been on your treadmill, start by doing one run per week on the new surface, and if your legs are in agreement, gradually keep transitioning a run every week or two.

"I just felt like running." Forrest Gump
I am thinking you might want to start with your shoes. As you said, treadmills are a very forgiving surface to run on because they are flat, plus they have some give to them. If you have not already done so, go to a mom & pop type running store (NOT a big box sporting goods store), or a Fit2Run if you have one in your area. The folks in true running stores have people who are trained to fit you to the proper shoe for your gait.
You can work on adjusting your gait, but if you do so, you should do it by slowly working up to it. In the meantime, you'd still be dealing with ankle and shin issues, so you need to address the immediate problem, which may be the shoes. Once you have changed your gait, then return to the running store to make sure you're still in the right shoe.
If the running store says you are in the correct shoe, consider how many miles you have put on those shoes. Most shoes start breaking down somewhere around 200-300 miles, depending on what shoes you're running in and how hard you are running.
Good luck. I hope you find the answer to your problem. Let us know what you find out.
"God gave you your body as a gift, so you should take care of it." - My Mom
I've always been a treadmill person, but have recently started going outside to get used to it. I'm using a bike trail by my house which runs along an old railroad track. It's mainly crushed limestone, but in some areas it's more like packed dirt. Some is gravel, and I've run into some sandy areas (but very few of those)
My ankles and one shin are getting sore/tired when I am outside. I'm thinking it's the uneven terrain. The trail for the most part is flat, but it's not like a treadmill where it's even all the time. My ankles don't bother me at all on the treadmill. What can I do to help this out? Or is it just a matter of getting out there and getting my body used to it?
One thing I have noticed is I tend to not "roll" my foot when I am running. I come down on the back of my foot, my ankle bends so the bottom of my foot is on the ground and from there I tend to just pick my feet up. I feel like I should be pushing off from my toes more?? Could this be causing it? Not bending my ankles enough? When I remind myself to "roll" my foot more I can feel my ankle stretching out, so this is what leads me to think this might also be a culprit.
Anyone have this problem? Any suggestions?
