run down - 2 to go

Well I did it.  Forced myself to hit the pavement and get a longer run that usual in.  MAN is it HOT out there!!!  I mean out of control hot.  I like the heat but WOW!  I was drenched all the way through when I got home.  I dont normally get THAT hot.  I did a little over 4 miles.  Well really it was 4 miles and then the short distance to the back door and into the house.
I started with the loop around the neighborhood.  I did the downhill runs - by Robert & Catherine's, from the culdesac, from the back culdesac, to the gazebo.
I was at a mile when I headed out of the neighborhood.  And headed towards town.  I was thinking another half mile out, half mile in.  I ended up with a mile out.  I ran ths shady area between Blythemill and the dog spa (of course that is as clear as mud given all the crazy dog spas in town).  I got to the road closure and turned around.

I ran back down the hill by the clock shop to the diner.  I guess.  You know me, I start doing the self talk - OK start running at the top of this hill in the shade and run to the flag/sign/next shadow/driveway...  whatever it is to get me going.

I walked again to the top of the hill at Blythemill and then ran down again. 

The last runs were in the 3rd leg of the trip - the leave the neighborhood and go left mile. 

I guess I got a good hill mix in.  According to the Garmin I ran 10 times.  Each time about a minute or so.  And distance wise I would say it was about a 10th of a mile each time.  So I wont complain.  That would be a good pace if I could do 10 10ths at a minute a piece. 

AHhh - I have hope.
