We are only in the 30s and 40s here and have had one day of snow but it has pretty much melted. <br /><br />I actually don't mind the uphills and don't see the downhill as a reward, as it actually hurts my knees more than the uphill.

That make sense :)<br /><br />Anyway, it's beautiful and would love to go back there for a marathon!<br /><br />Me, I like the uphills first! Get em out of the way. I also like them first because they raise my heart rate and once that gets pumping, it makes everything else a wee bit easier :)....so I think!Coy Martinezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00144649093762262574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993815500672701308.post-84694659976504855602011-11-07T10:43:09.725-07:002011-11-07T10:43:09.725-07:00Uphill first !!
