Ode to the ups and downs




Today, I went running in Northeast Georgia in a rather flat place. It was a smooth and lovely 12 miles. Grendel ran well on a leash (heavy mountain bike traffic), and I sauntered along behind him. When I finished, I was not that hungry; my legs were not sore, and I was not completely trashed - ah the benefits of the flats. (sometimes this is a nice respite from - see pics to the left - my preferred running grounds in Western NC)

Flat and Northeast Georgia don't go together. What magical place did you find?

Chicopee Woods - really close to Gainesville -

I didn't think Chicopee was flat. I've run on the other side on the Elachee trails. But never on the bike trails. Good to know.

Yeah if you stay on the beginner/intermediate trails on the mountain bike side- compared to a lot in NE Georgia, eg Coosa - yeah it is nice and mellow. And, you really can get some significant miles out there
