INCLINE attempt #2 Successful!

After finding the right trail, this time, Laurie and I lived through our first climb of the Incline.  It was REALLY intense but an AMAZING work-out!  We spoke to a man at the top that told us it burns 1,000 calories going up.  I am thinking I will celebrate tonight with some yummy dessert:)  

I wanted to show proof we did it!  I would have posted the picture of us at the top but we looked like death, kinda like how we were feeling.



I honestly didn't think the trail ever ended at this point

It took us 35 minutes to get to the top and 30 minutes to run down the 4 mile side trail, the trail we took last time on accident.  Well I can mark off my 1st goal accomplish in 2009!  And hope I can walk tomorrow!

Looks like fun! I can't wait for Spring. We have some great hiking above our house. The pic of the boys is from last year. But we have a lot of snow this year too. GOOD OLD UTAH! We would love to see you when you come.

Way to go. A thousand calories is a good workout, deserving chocolate on the other end. That's my motto!!

Mariel, the incline is about 10-15 minutes from my house. Not too far.

Oh, I am going to miss the mountains when I move.

You mad woman! Are you walking yet? That incline had to be a killer! It actually looks like a lot of fun! It is so beautiful there! I can't believe it's the middle of January and where is the snow?!?!??!
