around VMI (with Mercer)-

Since the two of us only ran the first day of the meet, we went for an easy run around the VMI area (today the meet was at VMI while it was at W&L yesterday). We started off heading east out of VMI and tried to take random back roads to avoind ending up on the highway, so we ran up some killer hills by a dump and a quarry before ending up on the highway. The highway was actually decent to run along and we did so for a couple miles before turning around to retrace our steps to VMI and head out the other direction into the historic town of Lexington, Virginia. I was really sore from last night and the hills sucked. Mercer turned around at one point and I continued off on my own, trying to select the flattest-looking direction as I came to each intersection. I could also taste my breakfast more than I would have liked and was not sorry to end this run through what I might have otherwise called an exciting and picturesque quaint country setting.
