Raccoon Mountain

Running certainly takes you places. For instance, if I hadn’t required 5 miles of road to run this morning, I never would have discovered Raccoon Mountain, near Chattanooga. Beefy dropped me off at the visitor center and I ran down the mountain, 5 miles.

(Then we drove back up for a few pictures.)


As I alluded to in Style Sample’s interview, I’m training for the Air Force half marathon in September. I want to run it in under 2 hours, so I’m using the FIRST training method to improve my speed. Today’s run was a tempo run. My goal was 9:04 miles. I thought running downhill would do the trick, but there were a few steep uphills too, and I ended up running a 9:20/mile pace.

Next, I need to find a fairly flat (and safe) 10 miles near Stone Mountain, GA. Any recommendations?
