There is so much that I love about trail running but most of the time I'm too chicken about the hills. Something about your lungs feeling like they are going to explode while you climb a steep hill. It HURTS! But you really can't beat the views and the feeling of accomplishment when you actually reach the top of the mountain.
Today I went for a run at Fryman canyon. My new place is only a mile away so it's the perfect distance for a warm up before tackling the hills. Then the first quarter mile is OMG SO STEEEEP! I had to take about 3 walk breaks before I got to the top of that first section. It is killer! But after I got over it, the rest was "easier" and I was able to enjoy the scenery.

| At the end of the trail where I stopped to take my hammer gel before making my way back up the trail again. These flowers were so pretty! |
 |
| The sky was beautiful! So clear and blue! |
 |
| Halfway up this hill and I just had to take a picture. This hill is tough because it's really slanted so it hurts your ankles. |
 |
| The view is just amazing! |
 |
| There is a rope so that you can climb up this steep portion...it was fun climbing up and slightly scary coming back down. |
 |
| And finally back home stretching on the deck. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my new apartment! |
6 miles up and down Fryman. Good day :)
