Darkness

I may have mentioned this last week or so, but the early morning hours are becoming dark once again, especially without a sunrise. We had cloud cover this morning and a pretty decent chance of rain later today.

I watched the news a bit too long this morning and got a late start to the run but made the best of it. I did what I call the "extended cemetery loop/UMD". If I am in a bind, this makes for a good run as it has flats and a few decent climbs to get the HR up. The one thing I am noticing is the hills are becoming easier to handle and it feels like I actually have a bit of power to get up and recover quickly on top. A good feeling!

During the run today I worked the hills and added four or five striders.
