I did my first mountain hike to the top of Phoenix Mountain Preserve today with my friend from work. It was roughly 2000 ft and it took me about 2 hours. There were times the incline was so steep I didn't think I would make it but I wasn't going to let my body tell my mind what to do. I made my mind tell my body what to do and kept going.
One thing that really kept me motivated were the gray haired, overweight senior citizens passing me on the way up and cheerily saying their good mornings while my heart was pounding out of my chest and sweat dripping down my face.
It was a sweet victory making it to the top and looking over the city!
