When I set my mind to do something, there is little that will dissuade me from accomplishing it, call it determination or insanity. Today, I wanted to tackle the Beachwood Canyon staircases (and I was crazy enough to add in the 5 mile run around the Hollywood Reservoir). The staircases are intense. There are six of them, and even if I was supposed to only descend them, I would turn right back around, ascend them and then descend again. The last stair case was killer. It was one of the descending stairs, and it took everything in me to turn around and march my burning thighs up those steps. As soon as I got back to my car I inhaled my PB&J and protein shake.
If that wasn't enough I drove to Franklin Canyon and hiked the Hastain Trail. Franklin Canyon is literally 15 minutes from my apt, and I can't believe I've never hiked it before. It's absolutely beautiful. It's so peaceful and quiet...it's like a hidden treasure in the Hollywood Hills.
This me almost near the top... don't I look exhausted?
