It was a wonderful read! thanks a bunch!
Thanks Mark. It pains me to not be able to even get a shoe of any kind on. Yep, lucky no breaks but the doc told me it could be a long road of recovery with the ligament/tendons damaged. maybe not too smart to run two more miles after falling....but I had to get to the aide station. Really hating the good old crutches. I will be back at it as soon as possible. For now the pool will be calling my name. Gotta burn calories somewhere since we all know I love to eat!!! Take Care, Chris
did not see this or I would have replied. Thanks for the offer. Good thing I did not carpool since I got injured and pulled out of the run at mile 6. Made it to the emergency room, on crutches for a bit but luckily nothing was broken from what the x-rays showed. Hope to be back at it in a few weeks. Take Care, Chris
Mark,
Here are the link for the Pocahontas trails.

I park at one of two trail heads: "Horner Forest Trail" is off Qualla (when I want more hills I park here, some decent hills for repeats) and "Loop Road Trail" is off Courthouse plenty of parking at both trail heads. From either of these Park and run/ride spots you can link into the 13.3 mile Fendley Station loop or just make your own way. I do recommend hitting any Forest Exploration trails as you come upon them..generally around a mile or a little less but it keeps things more interesting. BTW you will not get the elevation you may want but still a great run.
Enjoy, Chris
