Yesterday morning I got up at 6am as I usually do, ate a banana, packed Andrew a lunch, drank a glass of water and popped 3 advil, and I was off! With a pack on my back filled with my wallet and my clothes for today, I huffed and puffed up Madison and over the top of Capitol Hill. Photo above was the shipping container I ran through next to the lightrail station construction. This is where the hill crests at the top of my 400 foot climb.
Here's a chart so you can really see what I went through. That big hill was really REALLY a bitch. But I did it. Then I ran back home that evening. That's 7.8 miles total, team. You probably won't be surprised I fell asleep at 9:15 and snored loudly all night. I woke up this morning feeling great!! Think I can do it 5 days a week? I'm going to wait until the summer months to make the full transition, but I'm glad to know I can do it at least once.
You are a miracle worker! Good luck but don't kill your body - you'll need all those joints when you're older. :)
