In my city there is a little ski slope with 85 meters from top to bottom. This summer there is very fun contest going on, try to make it to the top of "Mount Everest". In order to do that 104 round-trips are necessary. This image is from this morning my second time doing this now having a total of seven round-trips. I need to speed this thing up if I'm going to make it to the higher mountains and be a part of the withdrawal of prices at the end. It's possible to register throughout August.

At the top of the hill there is a sign that explains the runs needed to reach the different mountains.

Everybody participating register their names and number of trips every time they are taken. There are Ring Binders in Alphabetic orders in the mailboxes at the top, so it's easy to register the runs. 34629549_10160452653290440_772246170771652608_n.jpg

A couple of people on their way up.

As for now I walk up, and do slow jogging on the way down. Hopefully I'll see an increase in speed from time to time. I registered today's three round-trips on Strava. It's great that there's so much room for improvement... On the segment I'm ranked nr.46 of 50 on the women Leaderboard. I'm going to work my way up to top :)

I'm also hoping that this will make me into a better runner not that I have joined the @runningproject. Tomorrow morning I will try a normal run without big hills.

Thanks for reading and wish you a great weekend!
