Notes
we all had the day off so we drove to a section of the nearly 500 mile Palmetto trail just outside of Columbia. the trail was a super gradual incline (~250 ft over 9 miles) on the way out. for the most part the trail was great! soft pine needle stretches, wood chips, bridge crossings, but there were also stretches with big gravel rocks which required concentration and a keen awareness to avoid turning an ankle. had Glen Burkhardt (Penn State) join us so it was cool having another guy join up for a long run.
