8 Mile Run

I took off for an 8 mile run this morning with two friends. I knew this was going to be tough because it was hot and the hills were going to be intense. We ran the first two miles and stopped for water and a quick potty break in the woods.

The next two miles were torture! One of my friends called it the " two mile hill" and she wasn't joking a bit. It lasted forever! I watched my friend, that I call the Hill Queen, run up it like it was a bunny slope. I don't know where she gets her drive, but I wish I had that desire to run up a hill like she does.

We stopped at mile 4 to fill up waters and we took off to finish the last half. It was full of rolling hills that didn't take your breath away and that made me happy. Rolling hills are my friend! We encountered a very scary dog, but Hill Queen yelled at him and he quickly ran back to his house.

This route was tough, but I know it was good for me! I really do need to run this route more often that's for sure! I am 20 miles down for the week and I have 10 to go. :)
