2 miles

I did it. I finally got back to running. It has been a three month hiatus due to moving twice in the past three months.

The route I took yesterday was suggested by a friend. This friend walks the route. I can see why. The very begining of the route is straight up hill for nearly 3/4 of a mile. It made me huff and puff like the little engine that could. However, getting to the top of the hill was thrilling. There is a beautiful over look of LA and surrounding cities. I stopped to enjoy the pink and purple sunset, mountains, and twinkling city lights. i didn't stop for too long though, I didn't want to lower my heart rate.

The way back was much easier. There was only a slight uphill and then going down the evil hill, I had climbed earlier. I love going down hill. I get to open up my stride and feel like a track star!

At the very end of the route I stopped and did sprinted 2 flights of stairs outside my apartment complex. I would have loved to go to ten, but I had a blister on my hill and it burst. Ouch! Maybe friday.

Goals: Plyometrics video on Thursday. 2 mile run and 10 stair sprints on Friday.
