I keep telling myself to get back to blogging each and every day, but there’s just so much distraction all around. It takes just one step to get going, and then focus to just not stop. So … on the Uwharrie Mountain Run last Saturday, a perfect morning to run—rainstorms across North Carolina the night before, but clear skies and temperatures in the 40s—I missed most of beautiful hills and woods all around as I kept my eyes on the rocky path. I chose to run the 8 mile race this year. I finished at 1 hour 53 minutes. (In 2020 I ran 8 miles at 1 hour 45 minutes; in 2018 the 20 miles at 5 hours 3 minutes; in 2002 I ran 8 miles but cannot find a record of my time.)
