W7R1: 25 minutes and a hill

Set off early this morning to avoid the heat but had to change my route at the last minute. As I got to the edge of the wooded area that is usually part of my warm up walk, there was a dodgy looking man lurking - probably totally innocent - but as there was no one else around I turned back and went the other way which is more in the open.

Only downside is that this route contains a very steep hill exactly half way through the run -but with screaming calves (presumably lactic acid??) and much panting, I just about made it to the top and the remainder of the run seemed fine. Think I will adopt this new route as I should be able to monitor my improvement in tackling the hill.

Aforementioned man had disappeared when I emerged out of the wooded area at the other side so no doubt he was innocently enjoying the quiet of a warm summer morning 😯. Over active imagination maybe?
