Day 3 - Hills, Hills, Hills

Yesterday, instead of doing Insanity I went running with my BFFF Todd.  We decided to take a jog through a local park.  I've ran the park multiple times before, back when I was in shape.  I remember it never being an easy run by any means.  Even when I was able to run 5 miles on a treadmill, the 2 miles at the park always seemed harder.  Needless to say I was curious about how I would do after being away from running for around 4 months now.

The park has a total of 4 large hills; in fact, of the 2 mile distance, I would estimate that 1/4 of the run is uphill.  We started around 7:10pm and made it back to our cars around 7:40pm - a total of about 30 minutes, with two walking breaks. My goal is to get back to my old time of 18.5 minutes, with no breaks.  I obviously have long way to go.

i never really felt the burn from an elliptical. other than the temporary calf muscle from the increased resistance.

But man oh man. I felt it last night. And today.
