Morning Cardio

[mo chuisle]

Just thought I'd share some pics from my morning cardio session today. This is a popular short hike close to where I live. There are 3 trails to get to the big letter M at the top, ranging from easy dirt trail switchbacks to climbing up rock faces. It's an 850 ft climb, with the trails ranging from 1.5-0.8 miles to the top, depending on which level trail you take. Definitely beats incline treadmill work any day!!

Lookin' uphill to the M at the top.

WOW! That's a very cool view, and a butt-kicking workout. I'm impressed. I don't think I could make it half way up that trail even now with all the cardo I'm doing. Girl you rock!

I went to visit a friend who was getting ready for a competition. She lived in ATL, so we decide to spend the day at **broken link removed** We decided to hick up Stone Mountain. We both made it up the mountain with out totally passing out, but it was kicking our butts. The sad part about it was that we enjoyed it... Glutton for punishment.

Having that for cardio would make me want to do more of it. The hike up Stone Mountain is awesome. I live only 45mins away and have been up it more times than I can count.

me too makes me want to play outside. I lived in Leadville, CO for awhile and with a "backyard" like that, it's so easy to stay in geat shape and very lean...and still enjoy excellent variety of beers

thanks for posting those pics, mo, brings back great memories...maybe it's time for a little trip.
