W7R2 - Uphill

I live in a town that's on a hill although on a day to day basis one doesn't really notice it. Boy did I last night! The first half I was on a consistent incline, some parts worse than others and after 5 minutes I thought I couldn't keep going! Somehow I did, I was definitely running REALLY slow, but still running nonetheless. I was so tired by the end I couldn't even go faster in the last minute! So happy I did it though. It was the first time actually running on the pavement and it wasn't bad at all from that point. I think now I'll try and run outside more often. I forgot to use an app to see my distance because my phone was almost out of power, so I will next time!

Great job. Hills build stamina and speed... obviously they also sap energy... but you had it in the tank to get through it... well done.

I’m learning that there is no avoiding it, may as well do it and come out on top!
