Did the run up wade road again. This is the run with some small hills. I ran a little further this time (another hill). had a total of 103 ft of elevation gain. Averaged 8:45/mile for the whole run the steepest hill (0.25 miles 4.6% grade) I did in 9:01/mile. The whole wade road (just over 1 mile and 2% grade) I did in 9:08. the downhill portion was a little faster.
