Personal:

Pride necessarily sprouts and grows; a pride that can only come from relentless kneading of unwilling flesh, painful months of grinding and burning away all that is heavy, all that is strength-sapping and useless to the body as a projectile. --John L. Parker, Jr., runner/author

Gatlinburg, Tennessee.

After 3-Mile hike with family to Laurel Falls, my brother and I crossed the street to the Huskey Gap trailhead and ran the Huskey Gap Trail to the Sugarland Mt. Trail junction at Huskey Gap, continuing in the same direction until 4.5 Mile mark, where we turned around and cruised back down the mountain; roughly 2,000 ft. elevation gain on this 9-Mile run (1:44) through the Smoky Mountains.

12 Total Miles including the Laurel Falls hike.

This morning, my family headed to Cades Cove, a beautiful, isolated valley in the Great Smoky Mountains that features an 11-Mile paved loop that is closed to motor traffic on Wednesday mornings.

I ran along with my parents, brother and sister-in-law, my nephews, and my two oldest kids, Max (7) and Sophia (5), all of whom rode their bikes.

Completing the entire 11-Mile loop earned the kids free ice cream cones! I was very proud of their effort!

Hiked the Grotto Falls Trail (3 Miles) with my Mom and brother this morning. After returning to the trailhead, my brother and I ran a 6-Mile out-and-back in 1:06 along the Baskins Creek, Trillium Gap, and Rainbow Falls Trails.

9 Total Miles in the beautiful Smokys.
