I misacalculated the distance, 28.7 miles on the Longest day of the year in the Great Smokies, Fontana Dam to Forney creek... it hurt, but I had a blast. I think I might take up road running from now on! For pics and other useless info you can go here: sisyphustookmyrock.wordpress.com/

Reeve!!! Dude!!! Awesome report and great pics!!! Dang, I wish I could go on runs like that!! And to finish it off with some boating with good friends and loved ones ... priceless! (btw - one small complaint ... how in the heck can you run in the woods, with all the birds chirping, creeks gurgling, and leaves rustling, and drown out God's symphony with an iPod?!?!! Shame on you! Listening to nature is half the fun! LOL! )

Thanks and you are right about my soundtrack. THe ipod turned off at about mile 13 and I listened to what was around me, and kept eyes peeled for bears. However, I must confess, I may not have been listening to the ipod, but I was humming "eye of the tiger" over & over again. Its the only song on my ipod ;D

Day was pretty good thanks for asking. Turns out my Dr is a marathon runner and pretty fast as well. So she seems to understand my need to exercise.
I am sporting a patch, so I'm talking like a pirate most of the day. My wife is less than amused.
