Ran with Jacob and Jen up the course for the Steeplechase. We decided to tag Twin Peaks since they were close by. Coming off of Twin Peaks we ran saw someone with a beard coming up. He had no headlamp and no water. It was Matt V. Matt tagged twins and joined for the rest of the run. The trek across Black Mountain was fun, but it was freezing this morning. It even tried to snow on us. We wanted to go down Smuggler's Gap, but there was too much snow. So we came back down basically the same way we went up. I took a few shortcuts on the way down because I was in a hurry to get to work. It was an awesome mid week run.

Sounds like a lot of fun.

Do you still live near Kathie? Just wondering how she's doing since she hasn't blogged for a long, long time.

Thanks Dale. I do still live by Kathie. I think she still runs, but doesn't blog any more.

Matt, how many miles is it from the start of the zigzag trail near parrish lane up to skyline drive?

It's 5.0 miles with 3800 ft of gain. Let me know when you want to do it, and I'll join you.

That sounds awesome, and a bit more challenging than my usual 10 mile route, to say the least. You are such a hill monster, I'd never keep up with you.
