hills

We live in a very hilly area.  And we are top of the hill.  We don't have to worry about flooding.  Riding your bike out of the neighborhood is easy - getting home is an uphill battle.  But, it is a good place to do some hill work.  After our 8 mile run on Saturday, I only needed a few miles to make my goal of 20 miles for the week so I tied on my shoes and headed out the front door.  I did  a bit of back and forth, down a hill then back up again, until I hit the 2.5 mile mark.  When I looked at the run on Nike+, I found there is an elevation tool.  I need to compare my neighborhood hills with the hills on the 1/2 marathon course to see how I am doing.
