A year ago, I hiked up "A" Mountain right before the start of the new semester...I thought I was going to die, and my legs were sooo sore the whole first week of school.

I definitely understand the legs talking though.

One t...Don't tell me you used the pansy poles!<br /><br />One tip: Camelback Mountain (one of my favorite hikes) is the type of mountain that you can only get better/faster at by climbing it often. You can run other mountains all you want, but if you want to cut your time up Camelback, it means going up it at least once a week.<br />I used to live within jogging distance of the mountain and for a time could do it every other day. but then I moved before I could reach my 21 minute goal.shirley elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00531842026700203446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927764210364421298.post-71424479667366054942010-01-20T14:43:34.709-08:002010-01-20T14:43:34.709-08:00Twinsies!

I dove for that frisbee so much. the minute I got home my right leg literally gave way under me. I've been aware of every muscle in my body since Monday. So aware that it hurts to breathe in deep. But hey, I'm going back out tonight (I seriously don't know how I'm going to survive, but I just can't quit) to play frisbee...again. Gosh, I love my sports. Also, next time take your camera hiking it. Not only will it give you the perfect excuse to stop and rest ("Hey, guys I wanna stop and take a picture of this beautiful scenary"), but you'll also have documentation that you hiked a mountain and pretty pictures to post on facebook for Stalker Cait to comment on. Sorry for the novel comment. Also, my code word is sphrint. i think they meant sprint which must mean that you should sprint death mountain. good luck.Cait the Greathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10603028178775291862noreply@blogger.com
