When you're a runner and it's sunny and 70 degrees in January, you had better get yourself outside!
And that's exactly what we did this past weekend. We took a short drive out to Roanoke county to run along the Appalachian Trail and kickstart our "ultra" training for the year.

| Kenya loves trail running too. |
After our run, we picked up our backpacks and hiked to the top of McAfee's Knob to camp overnight. We've been to the peak many times before, but we've never witnessed the sunrise. I'll let the pictures do the talking, but I'd say it's a Blacksburg must-do.

| Simply breathtaking. |
Shortly after returning from our mini-adventure, we hit the roads for some more training: a hilly 22-miler in the valley. Again, the weather was perfect so we were definitely taking advantage!!
The weather these days is all over the place. 4 days after our sunny 70 degree adeventure, 6" of snow fell in the 'burg. Naturally, we ran then too. :-D
