HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!
I broke my run in to two runs today. But the first part was HARD!! Oh my was it hard. I didn't know the elevation would be over 850 feet incline to my destination. I wasn't expecting that at all! And just like the other day, I had somewhere to be for lunch and I knew I wouldn't make my seven miles. I have to do better about that. I had wanted to go to Sunset Point for a while though and so I tackled it. It is my birthday and I would have not felt right if I wouldn't have done what I had originally planned. I was glad that I made the trek. The sky wasn't as clear as it could be and I will make the trip up there again sometime. I will for sure do it when I have time though and when the sky is clear. It was so cold at the top! The way back down the mountain was scary! My dog kept pulling me and I was afraid he would drag me right off the path and that would not be good on the side of the mountain! So I let him off the leash for my own safety. That didn't make the other hiker with the huge scary dog happy that we passed as Austin tried to kill the huge massive dog before I would get my hands on him and re leash him, all of this on a tiny skinny rocky path with hundreds feet drop a few inches away! It was wild. Then I had to use the restroom, so I did...and peed all over my own sock. Ah! The joys.
My evening run to finish out my mileage was short and sweet. My legs were super tired from earlier.

Sounds harrowing Amber, and that elevation change is no joke! Stay safe out there.
