Southwest Springfield ain't got nothing on Farmington, or should I call it Hillington?
Holy Crap! This town is uphill in all direction. Aimee and I did our first long run (14 mils) this Sunday since we have moved here and man our legs were burning. The outer roads around our house are great because they are long, wide, and straight, but nowhere near flat. We both agree this will just make us better come STL Rock-N-Roll 1/2 next weekend and Houston in January. If we even encounter flat land we will be super fast.
Oh, and the wind is not helping. You know this time of year reminds me why I love summer running so much better even though it hotter. Alright enough complaining, I really am enjoying our new runs, I think this time of year just needs a little more embracing. And in that embracing spirit, this week I ordered two reflective vest and one headlamp for Aimee and I during our early morning runs so we will be more visible to oncoming traffic.
A recap of this week: Monday running off, 10 mile bike; Tuesday 5 easy with weights; Wednesday speedwork @ HS track; Thursday 7 easy; Friday off; Saturday 4 easy, 12 bike; Sunday 14 long.
