Asheville Running Scene Part Deux

Time: 57:00
Distance: ~7.5 miles

This morning I met back up with Scott Williams for a run starting at Jus' Running. He lives close by and knows some good roads to run on. He took me through some nice quiet neighborhoods and into the surrounding hills. At one point we were running switchbacks on some beast of a hill. The pace was clearly very relaxed as he's nursing a bit of a sore calf. I was content to chat along and shuffle around. It was a nice recovery effort for the both of us.

I had a few more stores to visit before leaving the mountains and then had to hurry home in time to be at the Let Me Run practice over at Park Road Montessori. It's time to whip 11 energetic 4th and 5th graders into shape this fall. It's so much better this time around as none of us are sweating profusely upon walking down to the greenway. My biggest challenge thus far is convincing the guys that it's okay to run in a light rain or when the ground is wet.
