What Goes Up, Must Come Down

Today was a jog where I worked on improving my endurance of running uphill.  I did the same run I did last week but I lengthened it.  I ran up the sidewalk on Hwy 528 and went all the way to the end of the Bayview Trail.  Turns out there is a nice view of the water from there.

While I was jogging up the hill today, I kept thinking to myself, take small steps and keep even exertion to your breathing.  I was able to make it to the top without stopping even at the steepest part.  I hope to do that during the half marathon.  The best part of going up hills, is what goes up, must come down.  Running down is definitely a sweet payoff for running up the hill.  I love the feeling of flying down the hills.

I jogged 4.25 miles in 55:28 minutes.

This is the far end entrance I jogged to today
