Thank goodness for the cold front that moved through yesterday. It didn't put a huge dent in the temperatures but it definitely wiped out the humidity we've been experiencing. Most welcome.
Not far from the finish is a great swimming hole known as the Emerald Pool, where we jumped in and cooled off. Great to soak the legs in the cold water afterwards.
On the way back, we bought jewelry from a little girl who had a stand set-up in front of her house. We saw her last year but didn't stop, only later that day to be reminded by Jim's girlfriend, Shauna, that you should ALWAYS stop to buy from little kids who set up stands. Heather, if you're reading this, you have a new bracelet.
Ran 9.9 miles in 3:02:37, including stops on the summits.
Trails.
Insanely hilly.
