Cowles Mountain
Not as good today. I got a start at 5:09 and my shin splints started immediately. They seem to have a mind of their own. I have good days and bad days. I try to stretch every time I hit the trail. I wish I could narrow it down and eliminate the problem.
I quickly figured out I was running way behind my last trip up the mountain. Despite the pain, especially in my right leg, I didn't want to turn around. I made it to the peak in 84 minutes, 10 minutes behind Tuesday. Coming down, I made it back 7:20 which was 14 minutes behind my last time up Cowles Mountain.
It is hard for me to evaluate this trek. I was very disappointed and considered it a setback. Then again, instead of turning away from the challenge, I stuck to it and finished the hike.
I will be doing Tahquitz Peak on Sunday with Jeremy. I will have a better idea on my progress then. In the meantime, it's time to do some stretching...
My Whitney confidence would not be about a 1.
