More pain
I did the Incline in Manitou Springs yesterday. It is brutal, but was a lot of fun. I did not think that I would be able to make it, but I did. I stopped where the railroad ties ended.
My ankles, knees, and hips are all pretty sore today. My muscles actually are not all that sore.
I am going to add the incline to my fitness routine - switching between that and some other trail on my non-lifting days. I do not like running city streets - just too boring. My fast twitch muscles work really well in speeding through trails. I did not do much running on the way up or down - mostly walking, but still a great workout. Going to try to add more running in future undertakings.
My iPod shuffle gets me to the top. Should be fun to do really early in the morning - great place to see the sun rise.
I was able to lift this morning without issue - my lifting has been focused on upper body strength though, so was not really working the running muscles.
