Day #53- Hill running again

Today I ran early in the morning, because had plans for the night. My friend and I did the hill run, but this time started at her house and ran down hill and once we got to the big hill we walked up it and then continued running to her house. It was great! My legs were a little sore, but it was a good run.

Day #48 - Run Repeat

Today Iran a run that I had ran back in March, so it will be interesting to see if I will be faster or slower. I always want to be a bit faster. I didn't have a lot of soreness running today, so that was nice. My shoes feel good. My stride could be a little longer, but for now I do short strides.

Day #46- Missed a few runs

As of today I missed my Friday run due to Good Friday. I could have done a run alone, but chose not too. I missed my Monday run due to Easter Monday and my son's birthday. He is 10 today. They sure grow up fast. I could have done a run in the early morning, but chose not too. Lazy, eh?

Day #39- Hill Running

Tonight we ran our first big hill. It is actually two steep hills combined. You don't see the second hill till you get up over the first hill. It's a tough one. It is alot easier if you keep a good pace walking up it and then once over the hump it is down hill from there.

Today I ran a 5k in the morning and then another 5k in the evening. My body isn't ready to handle that, so my feet, knees and legs are a little sore tonight. My times weren't that great. I won't be doing that again. Too hard on me.
