Hilly run

I met Mindy at 6 am this morning for a quick run. She suggested we run up and over Sunset hill and back. I'm not usually a fan of out-and-back runs, but this one was so hilly I was distracted by the elevation issue to be bothered by the actual route. Amazingly, I felt pretty good. I have some lingering knee issues so I make it a practice to not run back to back days. This decision has been beneficial in a couple of ways. First, my knee doesn't hurt and second, I usually feel quite fresh on my runs. Even though we ran up a very large hill, my lungs felt fine and my legs kept up with out much struggle. Overall, I was pleased.

Running:
4.1 miles in 40:45
*slow pace, but steady.

  1. Good job! I love that pace- so don't knock it. :-) I hope to join you one of these days. Sunset Hill is still tough.
