So this weekend, yesterday to be exact, I ran 9 miles again. This time I cut over 30 seconds per mile from my time. That leaves one mile more for the goal. The reward, a Jeep that I can’t afford. Funny how that worked out huh.
Also..for a check in the victory column..I didnt cheat on this run. Let me explain. I live in a hole. Usually for any run over 6 miles, wifey drops me off in town, I run 3-4 miles on level ground then head home for the final 2+ miles down hill back to the hole that is our platte.
Not Sunday. No sirree. I ran out of the hole. A 3 mile uphill morale buster. But I did it. I never was so happy to see the top of a hill in all my life. Then I did my 4 miles of kettering on flat land then headed back down the hill to home.
I have posted the altitude change here for your viewing.
Need I say more?

Nice job. By my calculations, you are fixin to break a 11 min mile pace (My PR 1/2 marathon, actually, my ONLY 1/2 , marathon, is 11:17). You are the man.

You said it, that hill is a killer. It zaps you at the beginning of your run. Great job.
Later..
