It is definitely a great place to reflect :-)
Came back to the springs for Christmas and gave the incline a run. Didnt bother timing it, just wanted to have fun and reflect on life
Finally, a new best time today. 45 min, which I know is slow, but 2 minutes faster than I've done it before.. Beautiful sunrise this AM :-)
Forgot to mention, they are a great local company out of Boulder CO
Jill.. they totally ROCK.. First minimalist type shoe I've tried.. as I was working towards barefoot, but I may just stay with these since they work so well, and eliminated all knee pain and back issues I had when I took up running. No way you can heel strike. Anyway, I have the 6MM Contacts.. which have performed great on the Barr Trail and Incline.. And they are on sale 25% off through next Monday... click through on the Invisible Shoe link on my blog if you don't mind.. thanks! http://barefootinclined.blogspot.com/
Awesome snow covered climb this morning... first time I've done the incline in snow... it was great!
Some of you may have seen this, but came across a cool documentary on the Incline. Check it out here..

Have a great day!
