Palmetto Bluff 10k and half marathon is coming!

I am training to do my next big run in March with my family. My mom and brother will run the 10k (6.2 miles) with me and my Dad will run the 1/2 marathon at Palmetto Bluff near Hilton Head, SC. This event is on March 6, 2016 and I am really looking forward to it. Below is a picture of the old plantation entrance.

Grandfather mountain trail

Our third hike on our trip was a big 7 mile hike and it is a tough one. It is along the Daniel Boone scout trial and the East side trail toward Grandfather mountain. We love this hike and it is our second year doing it! It was really cold and there were icicles along the way as you can see in the picture. Half way up, we had some hot chocolate in a thermos that my Dad thought to bring. There are steep ladders at the top to get to the summit. There is a sad plane crash site here we always visit.

Mt. Mitchell, NC

This is a great hike at Mt. Mitchell in North Carolina and it was 6 miles and strenuous. It is the highest peak East of the Mississippi! We saw plane wreckage on this hike because just by accident my brother Cole spotted it buried in the mountain.

Blowing Rock, NC

My family went to Blowing Rock North Carolina for the week of the New Year. We did 3 big hikes over that time and this is the first one of the hikes we did. This is called Glen Burney trail and it is in the middle of the town of Blowing Rock. This was a shorter hike with two places for a water fall and it was 4 miles long. This was my second time doing this hike and I would like to come back and do it again!

lots of hiking and running

In November and December I did lots of walks and runs but I don't always have pictures for them. I am planning to take more pictures now and start logging my runs better in the new year of 2016.

Dreher Island walks- October

Over the weekend I went to Dreher Island with my family and a friend. While we were there, we did some walks and we camped overnight.
