I ran the Little Cottonwood Canyon Trail last night (Tuesday). I decided to conquer my hatred of running uphill, so ran 100 steps/walked 50 steps the entire uphill and made it to the top in 53 minutes. Visited with some bikers for a few minutes, then took a nice easy run downhill. Total round trip time 1:31:32.

Then I walked a little, paved side trail for 1/3 mile as my cool down and to do my stretching.

Nice job! Great idea to conquer the dreaded up hill! Did all the counting drive you mad? Have a GREAT day!! How's the knee?

Since I am already crazy - that is not a big concern. I actually did several marathons running 100/walking 100 - so am used to it.

Sometimes I do the counting thing too. You would think it would drive you crazy, but it seems to get me through a few tough spots sometimes. Way to conquer those hills!
