Grind Update!

After my 44:41 time on the Grouse Grind, I wondered whether or not I would continue on or drink beer and eat poutine instead (never really thinking 'why not both?'). And, somewhat cockily, I asked Rob what he had in store for me? Well, soon after that he broke his 45 minute wall and finished in 44:48. While that didn't really frighten me (that much), it made me realise that my victory was not yet etched in the finest Italian marble with gold leaf to fill in the lettering and the silhouette of my face, so the next week it was back up the hill. I finished in 42:39 which I was obviously pleased with but as I thought about it more it became something of a curse, as I was now too close to the 40 minute mark to not have a crack at it. Onward and upward, this week's time was 41:33. I'll be happy when (if?) I beat 40 minutes. Because then I never have to do the Grind again. Go me!
