Haigler Hills

On Friday late afternoon I went for a run at Haigler creek on the road towards Young. The first 2 and a half-3 miles is uphill. Not really steep or anything, but a continual uphill trek I guess. After that it is a lot more flat and an easier run. Until right around 3 miles there is a downhill part that makes you want to turn around and go back just thinking about having to run up it. It was a going great so I told my dad I wanted to get out to 4 miles before turning around (he has a odometer on the quad). We turned around at 4 miles and that is when it started to rain, and then it started to pour. As I was going up the big hill it was almost hailing and it was windy so it actually hurt. It was all fun to be running in the rain until the uphill. That was when my dad pulled out his poncho and I hopped on his quad for a little ride up the rest of the hill. I started to feel guilty for not finishing my run so I stopped him shortly after getting on the quad and decided to tough it out. The down hill 3 miles is so worth it because it is a lot easier. It was still raining but it let up quite a bit. I was soaked, but it was worth it to have a beautiful run in the mountains.

The picture actually isn't where I ran, but it is Haigler... that was when we were riding quads.
