Welcome Back Spring!!

I awoke Saturday morning to the most beautiful day I'd seen in months! I've been missing running. All of the snow has made it difficult to say the least. So on this gorgeous "spring"day, I laced up my sneaks, and set out. I decided to challenge myself on my first day back to the outdoors. I've been doing stairs instead of running outside, so I know I've been gaining muscle strength. I decided to do a loop of about 2 miles that goes up and down 3 hills. 2 are long, slow climbs and the other is steep. I haven't ever tried this loop before...mostly because I was scared I wouldn't finish. I decided to give it my all. And I succeeded! 2.12 miles, up hills, 25 minutes. My goal by the end of the summer is to do this loop 4-5 times in a row without stopping. That will be about 10 miles. Let's do it!
