More Aimless Wandering

As I've said before, I can't run anywhere around here without running on hills. Once again I had an idea of the route I was going to take this morning but just like Thursday I changed my mind. Ascending one of the Flintlock hills I realized I didn't want to run back up that street because the way back was worse than the way I was headed. I made an executive decision and continued south past Highway 152. Not only was it a good move because of the hills, but also because there was more shade on that route. The day wasn't horribly hot, but the humidity was way high. Any chance to stay out of the sun mitigated the effect of the humidity somewhat. I also took the 9 miles slow and easy and walked up a couple of the bigger hills on the latter half of the run. I probably could have run them but I wasn't trying to kill myself. We'll save that for later on in the training plan.
