Fast Hill Run

Even though it was overcast today and a little rainy, it was actually a good day for running with a mild temperature. So good, in fact, that I decided to run my hill route. The start was a little slow, and the route out against the wind. I felt pretty strong and ran a really good second half. My overall pace was 9:30, which is pretty fast for hills. And my fifth mile, which was the big uphill part of the route, was at 9:04. Not bad for this middle-aged runner. I enjoyed the run and the rain held off long enough so I could get in the whole 6 miles. I don't think I saw any other runners out this afternoon, just a couple of people walking. Their loss.
