Wow, my middle week run is up to 5 miles now. Things are really starting to pick up. I headed out the door, not really knowing where I was going. My parents recently moved and though I grew up in St. Louis, I’m not at all familiar with their new neighborhood. This area was a vast exapanse of farmland when I moved away and now it’s a bustling, repidly developing suberb.
I managed to work out a nice five mile route. The terrain here undulates quite a bit. Icould definately get used to running downhill and the uphill isn’t so bad. I’ll have to run 20 miles here in December, so perhaps my opinion will change then.
