Lake Mountain with Neasts and Leslie:
What a fun morning running/slogging up Lake Mountain with some excellent company. I was really worried about the weather because it wouldn't take much rain to make that route a slop-fest, but when I woke up everything looked great outside and I could see the lights from the tower on the summit from my house, so I figured we would be good.
We started at 5:00 am and had a really fun conversation about trail etiquette in regards to burps, gas, spitting and snot rockets and the time flew by. Thanks for the tips gals. :) We all had heavy legs today, so we didn't push it too hard, but still made it up to the summit in a respectable 1:11 where we were hit with a cold breeze which made us want to turn around and get the heck out of there. We took it slow on the run down just chatting away in the lightly falling snow and never pushed it too hard, but I was ok with that.
I had such a fun time that I've decided to do it again tomorrow. :) |
