over the mountains and through the woods

so i wasn't too worried about the run today. 5-7 miles, until i re-read it. i missed that it said HILLS. okay, maybe i'll run 5 instead. i only ran on tuesday and that was around 2 miles and it was flat! i haven't run hills since the last track practice, and that was the intro.

my mantra of the day: run through the hill, run through the hill, don't look up. i think i did okay. my running hat helped me from looking up. its running down hill that scares me~ don't want to slip, fall or injure my ankle or aggravate my knees...

little bit of trail running up, down and all around lake chabot. all in all i am proud of my run. seems like no matter what the terrain my pace is about the same. let's hope i can keep this up... or get better. one thing for sure, is after 7 miles of hills, i feel great.

at the honoree potluck, i won the fundraising spirit award idea... basically, i'm not at goal, but did something creative to fund raise via my TEAM BELLE PURPLE PEOPLE. http://www.facebook.com/#!/album.php?aid=65317&id=1459733708
the prize: starbuck's travel mug and coffee. they must be psychic :) how did they know about my travel mug collection and coffee. all that was missing was the straw. now i need to execute and make my goal
