These are the summers of my childhood. The weather is ridiculously nice. It was ‘open the window’ type of weather. It was run outside weather. And I did. In fairness, Lisa had to put a foot in my backside because up until last night I’ve been extremely lax about training.
I hit the two mile mark, which is to say I did that I did two loops. I was curious to see if I could do the run up Lawrence after one lap, and I can happily say yes I can.
If I can tack on another 1.1 miles to this, I’ll have done a 5k. I was half tempted to do this but I didn’t tell Lisa I was going to be out that long and halfway through the second lap my neck chain fell off. Stopping and starting was killer and I felt like lead by the end of the second.
Maybe tonight, if the weather holds, I’ll give it another go and aim for 2.5 to 3 miles. If I can get up that hill three times, I consider that a huge success. It’s a quarter mile incline that goes up 85 feet. If we assume that one story is 10 feet, that’s an 8 and a half story climb.
