I Tried a Trail Run! Frying Pan Mountain Fire Tower

After a 5 mile morning training run, I decided the day was too nice to not go out and hike, so I went out and hiked! I drove out to Frying Pan Mountain Fire Tower in Pisgah, and I attempted my first ever trail run. Unfortunately, I was sick, and the first part of the trail was all uphill. I ran a whopping 0.3 miles before realizing my body was more tired than I thought (and I don’t really train hills for my half marathons). When the trail leveled out near the top, I ran some more. Riley and I climbed the fire tower for amazing 360* views. I then ran the trail down! It was a short, 1.5 mile blast, and I’ll definitely hike again!

I was not used to trail running, but everyone tells me how fun it is, so I might have to get into it!

@@cobwebroseonthetrail2447 Hiking seemed hard enough. I know. I have done a very small part of the AT and I will be going back soon. But, cheers to you. You seem to love an arduous challenge. Wishing you a safe passage and good fortune. Happy Trails!
