Long Run # 13

Hills, Hills, Hills, this weekend started off by going up Mt. Lemmon here in Tucson. We ran in high altitude appoximatly 8,500 ft. Mt. Lemmon is where Lance Armstrong trained back in 2001 - 2002 with the US Postal Team. Some of you may remember the look from El Tour de France in 2001.
So we ran for about an hour, and then had to buy some of that FUDGE!!!, damn its so good.
Sundays run with the Moja 2 Running Team we ran up Tumamoc Hill its about 750 ft in elevation gain over 1.5 miles, there are two switch-backs that are really steep, I think they may be steeper then the switch-backs when I hiked the Grand Canyon, but then again there are only two. We were lucky to see 3 deer on Tumamoc Hill, its rare to see deer especially with so many homes around.
