Swamp Stomper Training Run #1
Today's run was on the Swamp Stomper course in Shelby Forrest. Ten people started the run and seven completed the entire training run of slightly over 10 miles. This was my first time running in Shelby Forrest and I enjoyed the change of scenery. The course was very hilly with quite a few steep climbs and decents. Footing was slippery at times in my VFF's, so I will wear running shoes next time to see if it's any better/faster.
There will be more training runs on this course in prep for the race on 1/20/08. If anyone wishes to join us, watch the forums at Run The Trails for info.
