The clouds and rain seemed to have settled in. The high yesterday was 40 with a low of 31. It has been windy and rainy and looks like there is plenty more where that came from. Chris and I are getting ready to run our third half marathon in six months, next Sunday. This weather is putting a damper on our training. Oh well, that is part of life up top.

Allyson, the Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon? I'm doing it, too! I have hiked LeConte over the winter when I had short training days!

@Melis- yep, that is the one. I was training for my first full and I ran a half in Feb. and messed up my foot. I haven't run in a month. I know I can walk a half so hopefully I will finish. Good luck with yours. See you on the course ;-)

Cool b&w photo! Very stark & beautiful. How many cabins are there at the lodge? It's hard to get an idea from photos because of the different levels. Hope your foot heals quickly! :)

Allyson,

Good luck to you and Chris in the Knoxville Marathon. It's a fun race. I ran the half during it's first year. Haven't run much since though.

Allyson,

Thanks to you,Chris, and all the crew Saturday. We really enjoyed it, as usual. We went down Bullhead; first time on that trail door most of us - great trail, even if there was no visibility. Had to go over or under several trees across the trail, but nothing difficult. See you next year.
