Running girl and I hit the road running today for 5.07 miles! It was a gorgeous route, beautiful million dollar homes, crashing waves and big hills. Although I have not incorporated hills into my training yet, BIG MISTAKE! Running girl and I were chit chatting, but once we hit those hills I became totally silent and started huffing and puffing, trying to keep up. At the top of the hills Running Girl would shout we did it, we did it , which helped keep me motivated for the next hill we had to run up! It is 8pm and I just got off the couch and OUCHIE my knees and legs are so sore. I wish I had a hot tub to sit in, my legs could really use one, or a tube of Ben Gay!
It was a great accomplishment but I will definitely need to practice running hills before I hit the streets of La Jolla again!

Hee hee! Joel ran 5 miles toward Mission Beach yesterday. He said the route is basically completely flat and the scenery is better because you're running on the PB boardwalk next to the ocean. Maybe we can do that route for one of our long runs.
