A Hill or Two

The usual route takes me to a lake and a park, and today the city was scheduled to dedicate the new additions: more trails, new playground, and new amphitheater (I think). So I avoided that scene and for the first time in a long time ran the hill route to the west.

This being a Saturday morning it was humid but not too bad as far as the temperature goes. It's my long run day, but with the hills I kept it to 6 miles, which was just about right. Overall I felt pretty good, although as I came back onto Ridge I walked up the curved sidewalk to the road, and then walked again up the huge hill on Virginia. The first was because I felt like I need to, and the second was more for injury prevention. There was a good wind out of the southwest and that definitely helped keep me cool enough for this outing.
