Several members of the HRC went to Cades Cove for a wonderful Fall training run.  This used to be an annual event but for one reason or another has not happened since 2008.  Martha and I, Skip Taylor and MaryAnn Sloan, Jim and Mary Jo Askew, Art and Vickie Heller, and Anthony and Sharon Lampros took advantage of a cool, overcast morning and ran, walked, or cycled the 11-mile loop; Anthony, who is training for a marathon, ran the loop twice.
