15.4 km today in a bit of a windy cloudy chilly day…

So I did one loop through Clifford plus within Clifford I did 6 loops through Aspen Trail which is the only hilly area in Clifford but in hindsight is not a challenge at all. I saw absolutely no one during the run. As I was running along the boardwalk though, ducks would explode out from near the boardwalk as I approached, startling me as usual. It seems no matter how much that happens I am always startled.

Anyway if I want some serious hill training I have to go to Devon. Clifford just is not challenging enough. I am taking Sunday and Monday off, and Tuesday I am doing a 7.5 km loop in Devon with some real hills. I am leaving for South Dakota this Saturday so I think I will have to schedule my two loop Devon run (15 km) for this Friday. I have no clue how I am going to keep up my training while on the road but I think it will have to be lots of killer hills even if they are short ones.

Anyway, with today’s run I have run 707.5 km this year.
