Misty hills -- Tue. June 1

A new month, and ready to run; time limited, however, by chauffeur duty. Drop Ninja girl at jiu jitsu, return home to change, then back and park at dôjô and head out onto 202. Down all the way to Barton (feeling bloated, not good digestively), then start up the hill--damp (after thunderstormy afternoon) and misty, especially on the hill. Breathing muggy air and water vapor, so it all feels a bit hard. Keep plodding all the way up, then on to Oak Ridge and to Summit, on down to Turkey Hill and out on to 21, then change mind and head back towards OldSprfld. Feeling a bit better, and hill climb miles were both sub-8:00s, followed by a sub-7:00. Then through high school and back to start:

Time: 1:02:28
Distance: 8.61 miles
Pace: 7:15s

Comment: that ended up much quicker than I planned: wasn't sure I'd even hold 7:30. Still, a useful bit of training for the upcoming Monadnock, I hope. . .
