i hate hills

just got back from a run...and i had told dominic the other day that i wanted to try running from seth and jen's up past our new place and back into town...a big loop...his comment was ok are you going to run up that hill?...i figured yeah of course...but whatever...started out on run...1.65 from beck's place (seth and jen) to our new place...there was a pretty big hill on plank road (the road our house is on)...it was tough but i did it and thought no big deal...ran down to 17 and turned left to head back into town and i saw the hill....i was determined not to let it beat me...so i kept trucking on...i got about halfway up and to my horror the road turned to the left and the hill continued...aarrrrggggghhhhh.....(of course it would have to be a windy day as well)...anyway the hill didn't beat me...wasn't going to let it...ran the whole way...turns out that the loop is 4 miles that felt like 10..haaaaaaaaaaaaa...at least hills are good for the butt and thighs...haaaaaaaa...oh yeah i was proud of the fact that even with all the hills and wind i was still able to run it in just under a 9 min mile pace...(i try to stay around 9 min miles if i can)
off for a shower....
ps. thinking about trying to start a running/walking group here in town...we'll see??
