June Challenge: Matterhorn Loop

Is it really the 14th of June already? Though it's the middle of the month, I still haven't forgotten my challenge -- I just forgot to post it. ;) This month I have set my sights on the Matterhorn loop. This is a 2.6 mile run starting at our house, up to Matterhorn drive (hence the name) and back down Parkview to our house. I know two miles is anything but difficult, but the challenge is the 1,000 foot elevation change. This is a steep road! I attempted running this path a few times last year and my shins were screaming the next day. So, June is the month I conquer this course. My goal is to run it at least 9 times before the month ends. I'll be a pro runner in no time! :)
