Both uphill and downhill have become a weakness for me.  I need to tackle this head on so I am going to start incorporating the weekly run to Mueller Park into my training.  Going up was hard but wasn't too bad.  Coming down was a little more difficult than I anticipated.  My legs are not strong enough to generate a fast enough turn over to run efficiently downhill.  It will come back eventually.

Are you going to the ball diamonds or the canyon? Either way, that's a pretty good pull. I hate the last bit of climb to the Davis Boulevard level.

From my house to the top of the hill (right before it drops down to Bountiful Blvd.) is 4 miles so that is my turnaround point. I agree with the hill right before Davis. Once I get past that it is a grind but not too steep.
