This past summer has been a struggle, just as I would adjust to one change another would happen. With two major changes at work and a church calling that takes up the rest of my time, along with temps in the high 70's and low 80's and humidity around 80%, running has taken a back seat. But in the past few weeks I seemed to have begun to enjoy running again and the mileage is starting to pick back up, maybe it is because I know fall is around the corner and at some point I won't be praying for wind to cool me down. Today's run was 4 miles of small rolling hills and the 4 miles of more intense hills (there is no flat where we live). I had worried about the last 1.5 miles because it was the same hill that kicked my but last Friday so I paced myself well the entire time and the last 2 hills were not that bad - good sign that things are getting back into shape. (Grandbury/Bryant Irvin/Dutch Branch). Then another .73 while I waited for my husband to pick me up. Ave Pace 8:56 Happy Running!
