Montara Mountain was a Monster!

Hello again...well, I ran/hiked the Montara Mt. trail run. The  2900 ft elevation climb was definitely a challenge. The first mountain we climbed wasn't to bad...the top had a beautiful view of the pacific ocean. The air was breezy & cool...the run down the mountain was awesome!

At the top of the mountain. :)
 Mile 6 there was an aid station & then we were off to conquer the other 7 miles of mountain. I have to admit that these last 7 miles were tough...it seemed like every time we had a turn around we were going up & up. At times I felt discouraged, but, Jesse stood with me & made sure I kept going. :)

Me & a beautiful view.




It was a great experience...I loved running the trail & being surround by nature. My hydration pack worked wonders & kept me well hydrated. It was tough & but it was fun. I really appreciate how much endurance it takes to run a long trail run like this one. But...it's- not- over...I have my eyes set on another trail run in the fall!
