Notes

Took a "mental health day" and drove out to Harpers Ferry. I've been wanting to do this run for a while. I hiked about a mile on the AT and C&O towpath to the Maryland Heights trail head where this run started. It is about 1.8 miles up to the top and 1.8 back down. I added a little bit by running on one of the fire roads which added some more climbing. Lots of running up and down long steep hills. Strava shows about 1300 feet in vertical over the 4 miles but it was really all in the first two, all down hill on the back two. This is only my second time doing this run. Did a lot better than last time. Getting stronger on the climbs and more confident on the rocks coming back down. I have to make this a regular run. Great practice for the hard technical races after Holiday Lake.
