Ain't no mountain high enough........

There are moments in life that can and do get passed up because of laziness or being scared today I could have passed on one of those experiences BUT I didn’t!!! With 2 guys from my group I strapped on my running shoes and ran up a mountain trail in this crazy Israeli heat. The trail was a little rugged and the thorns here in Israel are unforgiving, but with a small amount of walking (okay maybe more) I made it to the top and had the most incredible sense of accomplishment. I could have stayed in my room sleeping after getting up at 4 in the morning and digging till 12, but I am truly glad I didn’t and hope that I will continue to not pass up opportunities like this. Special thanks goes to the guys who could have left me in the wind but slowed their pace so I could join!!!!

Behind my shoulder is the college where I'm staying and where I started the run!
