The Back Way To Brittany's Run

Time: 49:34

I went the back way from my house to Brittany's house through the hills and all of the pavement this morning around 7:30. It was raining for the first 2 miles and then it stopped. It was a lot of hills. My dad made a description and mapped out the miles its exactly a 7 mile run.

1st Mile- 7:25 and it is slightly inclined for the first half mile and then 1/10 of a mile is a steep hill, slight decline. Felt really good just going out conservative because I know there are hills coming.

2nd Mile-7:20 Total time-14:45 It is a steady decline for 4/10 of a mile, slight incline for 2/10 of a mile then slight decline for 1/10 and incline for 2/10 and 1/10 decline. Still felt good staying consistent.

3rd Mile-7:04 Total time-21:49 Steady steep hill for 3/10 of a mile, slight decline for 2/10, steep decline for 2/10, steep uphill for 2/10 and level for 1/10. Went through 2 big hills and had a nice drop off and felt really good so far.

4th Mile-6:49 Total time-28:38 Slight decline for 4/10 of a mile and level for 6/10. Felt really good and could have gone faster but knew that there were big hills that were coming up. Felt really comfy.

5th Mile-7:56 Total time-36:34 Steep hill for 5/10 of a mile gradual decline for 1/10 and steep hill for 4/10. This is where it was though. Started right at the bottom of a steep hill and then finished at the top of a 2nd steep hill farther down. It is a steep incline and I felt and just increased my turnover and worked on my breathing and just kept at it between the hills.

6th Mile-7:00 Total time-43:34 Steep decline for 2/10, small hill for 1/10, level for 1/10, incline for 1/10, decline for 1/10, small hill for 1/10, decline for 1/10, and incline for 2/10. Felt like I got a second wind after those two big hills. Ran the downhills really smoothly and powered up the other hills cuz they were nothing compared to the ones I already ran over.

7th Mile-6:00 Total time-49:34 Incline for 1/10, decline for 1/10, steep decline for 2/10, level for 1/10, decline for 3/10, and steep incline for 2/10. Pavement switched over to a dirt driveway half way through this mile and most of it was down hill. Once I got on the dirt driveway I felt like I was going faster and those last two hills were pretty easy. Overall I felt like I could have gone longer, but it was a good workout and I will probably do this run again so I am leaving the description here.

Was a great day for running.
