I wasn't able to go off yesterday (Sunday) so I decided that regardless of the weather, I would go out this morning.
Rina and I have been corresponding and I mentioned to her that we live in the hills area. She said that I would learn to love the hills for my runs. My experience with uphills have been a lot of huffing and puffing, so I had my doubts.
I found out this morning that running (jogging) uphill is not as bad as it has been the previous days. I run a different route now which involves going uphill along Parsonage to hit Coolong Road. That stretch was about fifteen minutes and I wasn't huffing and puffing as badly as before. The only reason I stopped was because as I was going through Coolong, I decided against going over the hump and passed the side of the road ... and got hit by a mass of spiderweb between the bushes and the road. (Ugghh!!!)
So I walked for a bit and tried to get the spiderweb out of my face. I checked my watch and figured if I ran, instead of walked, I could get extra running minutes before going home and still have enough time to shower and catch my bus.
Fifteen minutes of running. Not bad, I say. It is a definite improvement from huffing and puffing after crossing the street.
