Asheville, a beautiful and slightly cold arty/hippy city in the mountains. I went for a short and slow run in the trails at North Carolina Arboretum. It was one of those Florence and the Machine soundtrack type of days where each step is more of a meditation than a workout. This hilly city lends itself more to mountain biking than running trails – but then again as my coach says “hills are just sprint training in disguise”.
Itinerary for my running tour of North Carolina: Greensboro, Greenville, Raleigh, Asheville and Charlotte.
