I spent some time in Atlanta recently. When I wasn’t working or training, I was running. My big idea to run all over Kennesaw Mountain didn’t quite work out since the trails closed too early each day. I found a few other interesting places to run instead. The network of trails known as West Palisades was less than a mile from the hotel. Most of the area was runnable, if you are into running straight up 200′ hills. There were parts where the trail was just a little too narrow, a little too steep and a little too high to run but the views from there would have made you slow down anyway.
