the run thru local communities with the hill workout

A good run this morning thru the local communities. I’ve been over these roads a thousand times but never in this sequence with this combination of hills. Of course I was sucking in serious air on those uphill climbs. I managed a pace of 5:10 over the 12.79 km. Average HR was at 80% max. Overall a good performance. Then again, it’s a good performance just to be motivated enough to get out of bed and go out for a jog on a January morning.
