Vacation

I haven't been on here in a really long time and I'm sorry about that! This whole last week I have been on vacation up at Lake Almanor and the week before that I was pretty busy so I just didn't have much time to sit down and write on here.  But I have been keeping up my daily runs and been slowly increasing my mileage.  This whole last week was a little hard on my legs because it was so hilly up by the lake where our cabin was.  I loved being able to run in a new location but after the first two days running up there my legs were getting pretty sore so I had to do one day of running in the water.  Throughout the week I ran 5 miles everyday and no matter where I ran there was some sort of hill whether it was rolling or just a gradually uphill slope.  Yesterday I did a 10 miler and ran from our cabin into the town of Chester. Starting out from our cabin I knew I would be doing a couple miles of hills since that is the route I had been doing throughout the week but I didn't think about the rest of it before getting to the big downhill part of the run so about the first 5 miles that I ran was going up hill, every now and then there was a little flat road or spurts of downhill in there but overall more uphill than anything else. But then after than it was relatively flat or gradual downhill the rest of the way making the 2nd half of the run a lot better than the first half.  I will be really happy to be back to flat roads this coming week and only doing a hill workout maybe once a week instead of every day! My mileage is starting to get up there and the last few weeks I have been averaging about 35 miles so I'm slowly getting back up to the good number of 50 per week :)
