Sadly, I live in California where the air quality is terrible right now. I might just have to sneak into my schools track and bring out the spikes ;D.
    My track season was cut short however. I got 1 meet and it was over from there. But I ran the 800 thinking of you lmao. 30 minutes after the 800 I had the 3200. *Yikes*. Needless to say, the person I was pacing with outkicked me and I threw up but kept running XD

    Honestly, that hill is nothing compared to the Moniteau Incline just west of Colorado Springs, Colorado.
    That thing will eat you alive...
    That's a 1-mile walk, in reality; up 2768 railroad ties, almost 2000 feet gained in elevation.
    I never knew I could take so long to go one mile.
    It took me 1 hour and 7 minutes.
    But then again the record is 16:42 for this 1-mile.
    It truly is a Beast!
