Today was the final training run before tomorrow's Mountain Mist 50K. While I am treating MM as a training race in preparation for both Fuego Y Agua 100K in three weeks and the Double Top 100 Miler just two weeks after that, I still have some goals aside from just finishing MM tomorrow. However, I will refrain from revealing them here today.

Heck of a workout this morning. When I walked out of my house to drive over to Richard's for the hill workout that my training schedule called for, I really didn't feel like running for the first time in a long time. The weather was dreary, cold and rainy. I headed over to Richard's house hoping he wasn't in the mood for a run either.

I'm "Glowhead" and Ed Johnson is the other runner.

The picture above captures exactly how much fun we had this morning, when we left from Richard's house for our usual Pratt Ave Ranger Station out & back trail run. Torrential downpours over the last few days actually turned the out leg of the run into an upstream swim for much of the lower section of Tollgate Trail. It was a ton of fun.

Course marking the Mountain Mist 50K looks like this;-)

Wow, mother nature really didn't want people do mark the course for this year's Mountain Mist 50K or let anyone run the trails at all today. Well, that might have kept the occasional runner away from the trails, but it didn't deter a lot of others.

What a great training run this morning. I finally decided to join one of the Huntsville Track Club training groups that is getting ready for the Mountain Mist 50K and headed to the hiker's parking lot at Monte Sano State Park at 7AM.
