Mountain Masochist Trail Run 50 Miler
It was a fabulous fall day to run 50++ miles with 9,000+ feet of climbing in the mountains – on a very tough course. Tight cut-off times made this a bit of a race against the clock, but I had a few minutes to take some photos and finish in 11:32. It was too gorgeous not to capture some of these great memories in photos. What a fun, fun day on trail. Enjoy!
“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature’s peace will flow into you as the sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.” – John Muir
Fabulous fall colors
The mountains were glowing with autumn colors.
A beautiful sunrise on the ridge.
The Lynchburg Reservoir sparkling in the autumn sunlight.
A patchwork quilt of fall colors.

The reward at the top of The Loop. Worth it all…
