6 miles @ 9:53/mi. Kevin texted to say he wasn't running this morning, so rather than start on the trail by his house I headed up the Main street hill. As I turned and started up 2000 N I remembered the good old days when we would run that big hill twice a week. I grew nostalgic and decided to run it. I figured some hill miles will be good training for the Utah Valley marathon coming up in June. There's no better time to start than the present.
I was a bit surprised that it wasn't harder than it was. I haven't really run many hills in past months (or years really). Like on Saturday, the thought crossed my mind that maybe working on strengthening my core is beginning to pay off.
