As you can see, it's a very steep sand hill, roughly 100 meters in horizontal distance! Having said all that, I think it was a big mistake for me to run here. My right achilles is the sorest its ever been in my life. I did 6 reps of a combination of walking and running up this beast. I then ran down fast each time. A friend from the Flyers was running with some other people here and asked me to join him. Big mistake. I don't know if i can do my track workout tomorrow night. I'm limping a good deal the day after.
