Hill Training for Mogollon Monster 100

Some pictures from this weekend's hill training adventure in the secluded Texas Hill Country. I took a tumble on a downhill and scraped my arm and bruised my butt. Other than that, it was all peachy!

At 6 o'clock in the morning, I had the whole place to myself and I felt like I was on top of the world!

It doesn't look like a big deal, but after going up and down this never-ending hill a bazillion times, I was pooped!

Those little rocks are devilish! But you learn to love 'em!

Sweating my way up the big hill...

Flowers along the way.

And more flowers!

A cool little offshoot trail.

It doesn't look bad, but it hurt! You should see my butt... Ha!

A soft new terrain for my feet to enjoy. A nice break from those rocks!

And finally, the view from the top! Yay!
