Lets just say things did not go as planned. I did not hit the trail until about 9 AM when the sun was already ablaze with few clouds and no wind to speak of. So I decided to run a different part of my usual trail which turned out to be all hills, and then some more hills, followed by more hills. Sensing a pattern here? Yeah - me too. My legs were already feeling beat up which meant the hills tested the very fiber of my will power. I did OK but fell short of my desired distance by a considerable amount. Considering the week I've had I'll call it a "good" run and walk away knowing I still came out on the plus side. Peace everyone.
Great hilly run David! Hills count double for mileage. ;)

You didn't get the mileage you wanted, but all those hills surely make up for it. Great run despite the unexpected difficulty, just gotta roll with it sometimes.
