So the last couple of days I've been trying to do "incline" training.
Because I live here in the prairies, the walking has been good training so
far, but I definitely need to find elevations to prepare for that first
day of going up the mountain from St. Jean Pied-de-Port.

A few days ago while doing some errands, I realized that the answer was
Garbarge Hill would be the answer. A couple of treks up and down that
would definitely help prepare those muscles. We'll see how tomorrow goes!
