The Saguaro 8 Mile run is a challenging run through a National Park. It is kind of like a roller coaster ride with it's up and down. Until mile 4 when the course changes from a fun up and down to a complete up hill run. 1.5 miles straight up the side of the mountain. It was a challenge to not stop running, but I knew if I stopped, I probably would have a hard time stopping. After getting to the top of the hill, I was hoping for a nice downhill race to the finish, but boy was a wrong! It continued to go up and down like the first part of the course all the way to the finish. I can honestly say I left everything I had on the course for this race!

| After the race...exhausted! |

| Im confident as ever! |
After the race, I asked Matt if he would want to do it again next year. He said climbing a hill like that is something he only wants to do once, so no. I said "We'll see", then we hobbled to the car. We were sore for three days after this race, and I started to think the same as Matt on the whole never again thing...
