The Hills of Roanoke

So I ventured into the hills around Roanoke as I went to a 4-day conference of United Methodists in Virginia.  My colleague, Tim Tate, loves running here and put me on to the urban trails around the city.  I checked in at my hotel near the airport and ran across the shopping mall parking lot to find a trailhead.  Once I was on it the city disappeared behind trees and I met people walking and running along the creek.

Oh, yes, there were also hills!  But I felt good.  Vibrams were working fine and I was beginning to imagine that I might be able to do this whole thing without real shoes.

5 miles
54:37
I noted that I felt awesome.
