Our Halloween weekend's chill was ushered in with a successful Friday stream study fieldtrip. A rainy Saturday helped me catch up on some much needed shut-eye. We made it over to the library and Foam & Fabric for some supplies... Lots of gear projects in the works, more on that to come...Sunday, Lily dropped Uwharrie and me off at Woodlawn at noon to meet Mo for a trail run along the MST to Buck Creek Gap. She left the car and hopped on her roadie for a ride to Altapass along the parkway. I was to run the half-marathon distance in about 2 hours to pick up Lily's car and drive to Altapass to meet her, Jessica and Forrest for some late-season apple picking action in the orchard.
I forgot how BEASTLY this stretch of trail is. After catching up with Mo (who was on the last leg of his marathon run), Uwharrie and I upped the pace. The colors were still cranking on higher grounds, and our serving of fast-paced single-track, delicious. Ten minute miles shouldn't feel that tough. It's a reminder that the world ain't flat... Apples to apples: Uncle Matt needs to get back in shape, running slow isn't quite like running fast.
(... That's right, uncle. Congrats to Beck and Andy for the arrival of Cora Grace on 10/26!!!)
