New Heights

High 60s, sunny, with a warm breeze... you know I was running outside this morning!

I’ve been trying to find a new long distance circuit around my neighborhood. It’s pretty challenging when there are limited sidewalks, high traffic volume, and so many dead end streets it’s a miracle anyone actually gets out of town. I finally found a decent loop this morning (only 4.7miles, but it works for the time being), but what I didn’t realize is that I ran it backwards.

How is is possible to run a loop backwards, you ask? Trust me... it just is. The last half mile, unbeknownst at the time, was a 45 degree uphill angle! Talk about endurance training and a final push.

No, I’ll admit, I did not run the entire thing. I ended up walking most of it, but I did learn for next to start my loop opposite. I’ll save the uphill challenge for when I need a challenge.
