Last week I ran 28 miles. I’m so glad to back on the running-track. Three days of trail running and my long run on Saturday was on the road.
Sunday was a trail run on tired legs getting some miles done for the GSMNP 900.
I was on the Baskins Creek Trail and Trillium Gap Trail.
I was nervous being on the trail and running into bears.
I did run into two deer and later heard some rustling off the trail. Humidity was 98% and the trail was steeper than how I interpreted the map. Next time I will read the trail description before heading out.
I wandered around the Rainbow Trail area and found this cool hiker bridge:
I made it home alive and will be a bit more prepared next time. It is going to be so fun getting to know the national park.
Next week is 30-34 miles. I hope to discover more trails and start feeling strong.
