Report

I had a big workout planned about 2 weeks out from the Myrtle Beach Marathon.  Most of the trails are still melting out from the recent ice and snow - I knew that the CCT was clear, so this seemed like a good opportunity to go for it.  It was a bit wet after the morning rain but otherwise good conditions, and the trail wasn't crowded.  

I parked near the Bethesda end and did 6 miles out and back at a moderate effort.  Then I went right into this 7-mile effort.  I did another 10 miles after to round out the long run, which was pretty tough!
