Oh, mighty Monument, you are a force to be reckoned with!
First run of the year I make it up 4-5 times, by the end of the season I can do 12-14. This year, I made it up 6 times, although the last trip up wasn't pretty.
A group of of us went down and I teamed up with a sweetheart of a colleague who is 20 years younger, a runner, and can talk up and down those stairs. Not sure she was breathing hard, that's youth and I admire and respect her no-woman-left-behind encouragement. I'm already thinking this group may do Warrior Dash this year.
I've challenged Brooke if she trains through the summer and does Warrior Dash with me, I will pay her $500. She readily agreed.
This is going to be a very fun season!
