Nice run today up wade road. I drove to start the run so that I could go further uphill the last part of this run is pretty steep. It was good and a beautiful area to run in. The first 2 uphill miles were only a 2% grade. However, the last .44 miles was an average 4% grade and was even steeper than that at parts. 

Elevation gain 289
