Ok, so a couple of years ago when I was in shape(sad)...I ran all the way up Ivey's hill or Jackson street once! It was a great feeling, I felt like I really accomplished something. Well, tonight I wanted to go on a hilly shortish run. Which in Mineral Point is not hard to find. (Thanks a lot glacier... you missed my frickin' town! Enough ranting about the Ice Age!) I thought that running my usual short loop was a little too short, so I thought I'd do my longer loop. The loop leaves my house, up Merry Christmas Lane(big hill), through town and back out my way up Ivey's hill. I was going to give myself one hill to walk if I needed to. On my way up Merry Christmas I kept thinking if you run up this you can walk Ivey's at the end, and I ran the whole thing!!! Then I got to Ivey's and thought this hill is shorter than the other if you run this whole thing you can stop at the top and take a breather, again I ran the whole thing and didn't take the breather at the top!! I RAN MY WAY UP THE TWO BIGGEST HILLS IS MINERAL POINT!!!!
Now I totally feel like this running thing is something I can do and that my mind is stronger than I thought! Thanks for this idea Heidi...I will probably not thank you once the runs get longer so enjoy it now!
Last week went pretty good, I ran my long run on Saturday and felt great. I thought I went 6 miles, but when I tracked it again it was only like 5.5. Oh well!
Happy Anniversary Amy! Eight Years...seems like yesterday! Although if it was yesterday, I'd be quite hungover right now. Happy Running ya'll!
