Notes
Good run on the Virginia Creeper Trail. Garmin gave me 1244' elev. gain, but it certainly didn't feel like that much - more like 300'. Run was gently downhill for the first half, gently uphill for the return, but it never felt like real uphill. Gray windy day. I set my watch to 9:05 and was able to keep pace for most of the run. Water every 2-3 miles. Stopped to pass dogs. Legs were very painful the whole way.
