Yesterday as I walked to work I glanced to my right over the SRC fields and saw that big yellow A on the mountain staring back at me in defiance... and today that defiant mountain has been conquered.
I actually really love walking/running A Mountain. I like to go up there during stressful periods of the semester because the view just can't be matched. In Phoenix, that is :) It had been a while since I'd been up there watching the clouds stretch over this city. So it was amazing knowing that I was standing on the top after some physically challenging weeks in Fall Shape Up.
Even through the sweat, the dirty knees and elbows (from planks and berpies in Sparky's Yard), and tight, sore muscles, I am loving this whole experience. I even love the early mornings. We're out there with the ROTC kids most days. They tend to give us strange looks. I tried to invite some of the ROTC officers to run with us today as we passed them on Palm Walk, but they declined. Okay... they laughed, but I think they were just jealous of our trainer, Zack, and his red sweatband.
