Day 77. Hook Mountain run with Cathy, Derrick and Scott. I walked up The Hook (I'm supposed to be tapering, after all) but otherwise ran pretty fast, especially at the end. Nice day.

Good work keeping the steak alive, Steven.

I've run Self-Transcendence twice myself. The trails are incredible! The Long Path runs the ridge between the lake and the river, and that has some awesome single-track. This race does, however, does not go on them.. Hook mountain is a mostly-paved road that goes down to the river, where you run on a completely smooth unpaved road for 1.5 miles. In this race, 10 miles are asphalt, and 3 miles are nontechnical dirt road. There is no reason to bring trail shoes.

Day 74: Rockland Lake / Hook Mountain with Cathy. We ran The Hook hard and I felt great. A solid solid workout for me. This, by the way, is my last hard effort before the Umstead 100 miler, in 12 days.
