This run was so beautiful, especially at first. A thick fog covered the entire landscape at first, but as time went on the top layer started to burn off. Since we were in a hilly area, there were times when we would reach the top of a hill and feel like we were running on clouds - and since it was my first time there it felt like the next downhill could continue to infinity if it wanted, until we descended back into the haze and the sun was an indistinct area of light just above the horizon. Each time we crested a hill a little more of the landscape became visible until we were left with a panorama of the undulating hills and only a few pockets of fog hovering over lakes and in other valleys and nooks.

The run itself went as well as I could have expected, and 20-30 seconds faster than planned, too. Finished off with a slightly sub-7 minute mile and I was pretty beat. It was fun to finally get a good chance to run some downhills again (I think that's partly why the pace was being pushed - the rest of the group worked to catch back up to me after I ran away on the downhills, and then didn't properly slow down when they did close the gap).
