Cross Training

Tomorrow, instead of running long, we are planning a Fathers Day Weekend day of cross-training:  a hike up Mt. LeConte.  We'll take the Alum Cave Trail, a distance of 5.0 miles and an elevation gain of 2500 feet.  We're hoping for a great day - the forecast calls for mostly sunny, although these afternoon thunderstorms have become a daily event.  Maybe they will hold off until we get safely down that long trail, devoid of any shelter except Alum Cave Bluffs.

The summit is always worth the climb, whether it is running up Big Bearpen or climbing this awe-inspiring mountain.
