Last night I spent at least an hour transferring my training plan into a calendar. And it made me think about how many short runs I will be doing for the next few months. The longest run I have until late April is 6 miles. I do want to follow this plan because I haven't been running much over the past few months and I really don't want to get injured. That said, I know that I could do a 7 mile run right now and not suffer too much from it. But I also know that I might be pushing it if I just start off doing my normal 6 mile standard runs. Patience.
Today was a 4 mile run and I decided to go to the Open Space which is along the route of my normal/standard run. I just turned around at the 2 mile point. It is a 370 foot climb from my house. Not too bad. I usually have my running buddy with me though so it was different from normal. My running buddy is injured and won't be able to join me for a few weeks. Oh well, I got to listen to music instead. Thank goodness for Blondie and Arcade Fire and the National!
The photo is of part of the climb to the top. But I have to say, it does not look very steep at all. Trust me, it's steeper than it looks.
