Hills Again

Once more I thought this would be a good day to run hills. Maybe a mistake. I realized after 4 pm that it was late, and hurried to get out. Wind was blowing out of the NW, which was fine on the way out but not so much as a few weeks ago when I ran uphill against the wind when it was against me from the S.

In the end it turned out to be all good. I ran 6 miles and never stopped, even though I wanted to on the steep hills. The weight continues to peal off and that seems to be good motivation to persevere. Plus it also seems to help in the running itself. If I was carrying that extra 18 or so pounds I probably would have walked at some point, and maybe more than one. Without it I was able to carry on. Maybe one of these runs I should strap on a belt with extra weight and see how it feels.

Or not.
