Change of pace on a sunny and mild December morning - I headed west and ran the hills. I feel like I walked this route plenty last winter, and I'm sure I've run it at some point since then but am too lazy to look it up. My 5 miles took me over to Stonebridge and back. The only hill I walked was the killer one coming east up from Ridge along Virginia. That's a beast. I'm feeling stronger but not quite up to taking on that challenge yet. I used to run hills a lot - in fact, I couldn't help but run hills around where we lived in KC. Now my normal route is mostly flat, but if I can build up some strength with these hills I'll be in a better spot to train for a race next year. Assuming that this lockdown will end at some point and we'll actually get to have races again.
