Hills

I tried out another new route today. My training program has finally caught up to me and I had to do a 6 mile run today. The first time I've run more than 5 miles since the half back in Nov. I mapped out a route using the pedometer feature on Google Maps (pretty cool, if you haven't tried it). The one thing I neglected to look at was the elevation profile of the route. There were 5 pretty good sized hills. My usual routes aren't entirely flat but they don't have hills like these. It was a good workout and I'm sure I'll be feeling it tomorrow. The other issue was that my pedometer is acting up again and I ended up running 6.8 miles instead of the planned 6. Oh well.

Tomorrow I take off for Hawaii. I can't wait to run in the warm sunshine! Next Saturday I'll be running 7 miles along the Kona coast. It's going to be hard to come back to the Philly weather after that.
