Ran Mt. Baldy This Weekend
In preparation for my Mt. Whitney attack next month I did my yearly run up Mt. Baldy to see what I need to tweak prior to taking the trip up to Lone Pine.
It’s nice to know that I need to concentrate on squats and lunges at the gym, and that I have time to round out my training and improve what needs improving. The run up Baldy this year was rougher than I expected. My legs felt like they were filled with lead during the final 700 foot scamper up the steep trail. I’m now beginning to doubt that I’ll break my 8 hour runtime goal up and down Mt. Whitney.
But then again I felt the same way last year and did quite well on Whitney. I guess it’s all a state of mind…

Ok, first I have to say….BEEEEUTIFUL photographs! OMG, the second one, looking towards Vegas is breathtaking! I love the mountains, so this photo really touches me.
“the final 700 foot scamper up the steep trail.”
HOLY COW…the so impressive! Hey, my legs would not only feel like lead, but also JELLO afterwards.
Can’t wait to read about your run next month.
You GO, boy!
