Went on a nice little run/hike today. One of my friends, TR.....a pretty elite runner......has a little hill he likes to call The Punisher and he finally talked me into doing it with him. Let's just say I had my ass handed to me.....LOL. After a 1 mile warmup jog up to the trailhead, The Punisher, a narrow forest trail, climbs about 1500 ft in just a little over a mile. Then there's about a 3 mile run back down on trails and forest roads. To put this into perspective for those of you that know Upper Table Rock, The Punisher is a little shorter but gains more than twice the elevation.......freakin' STEEP!!! Just that part of the route took me about 32 mins, and the whole route took 75 mins.
You know I'm gonna have to do this again....
