GROUSE GRIND!!!!!

       Today I went on the grouse grind! I have only done it once before when I was around 13 or so. I slowly went up the mountain but with a steady pace. Everyone was way ahead of me that I could not even see them. I was worried that I would not make the 45 min half way dead line. But a made it in time and I reached the top. It is strange because when it comes to hiking most people have energy at the beginning and around the end they are tired but not me. I get very tired at the beginning but at the end I am basically racing up the hill. It must be a "runners high " thing. By the way this is a photo from google not my camera.
