Tonight was my first time to meet my coach and fellow teammates, so as you can imagine I was quite excited! We met at Castlewood State Park and hiked for about a mile to a set of stairs that leads to a beautiful lookout point. This particular set of stairs totals to 208! My coach encouraged me to take it slow and just see how many I could do since this was my first time to climb with the team. After the third set my legs were starting to feel a little wobbly, but I knew I had more in me. I went down and back up twice more, which means I climbed a total of 1,040 stairs!! It was so helpful and encouraging to have my coach and the team there. I really think I might have stopped after 3 or 4 sets if it hadn't been for them. Our goal is to get to 10 sets before we leave for Utah! Right now the thought of that makes me cringe a little, but with all of your support and the support of my team I know I can get there!
