Trails and Hills

Today after church I decided to run on location. It's a beautiful part of the island with lots of trails, hills, mountains, etc.

Only went 6.5 miles...I got tired very quickly!
First mile: all trail, mostly uphill, 11:57
2nd mile: some trail, downhill road, 8:02
3rd mile: uphill road, back on trail: 11:58
4th mile: left the trails, downhill road: 7:32
5th mile: hills in cemetery, 7:38
6th mile: exit cemetery, uphill road to church, 7:24
last half mile: uphill road to church: 4:22
Total time: 59:03

I had planned on a long run, but those first three miles killed me!

I find I can do hills better if they're not right at the beginning of the run, but sometimes that's just the way it is. Way to stick with it!

Nice to see you are getting in some good hills! Don't worry about mile splits...once in a race it took me 2:10 to cover 10 miles (remember?). Ha! Good times!
