Nice Mountains around the corner!!!

Some days ago I met a beautiful place to train. It is about 20 min from La Jolla. It is a park called Mission Trails Regional Park.

There are several trails around there and a lot of mountains. Is perfect to do hiking and mountain bike. It's very big and you can ride for hours without seeing people, make sure to bring water and some food, you may need if you get lost. Try to go to the information center before adventure yourself. It is always good to figure out some information about the place.

If you hike early in the morning you can cross over the fog and appreciate a very nice view. The park also provide some events that you can join. Check the website for more information.

Good luck!!! Have a great adventure!!!

Cheers

New Black's Beach Hill Repeats Record - 13 Times!

How I said in my previous post last sunday I went to my group training at Blacks Beach.

Almost the whole group had to run 6 times the hills. Joshua, Charlie and I supposed to do 10 hills.  When we got there our coach said that another guy had just finished 11 hills. After we digest this news we decided to do 13 hills. We ran about 22 km and we climbed a total of 5200ft.

The nicest thing about this training is that you exercise your mind. After 10 hills your body is completely tired and it is very difficult to keep pushing. Then is the time to make your mind drive your body to keep going and reach your goal.

The power of mind is much stronger than we can imagine!!!! Try to use it in your regular basis..
