Finished a 10-mile race today. This is the "challenging" course. It's a constant up-and-down, with the emphasis on up. There are at least three hills comparable to the first hill at MCM. I had a little trouble with the last big hill, just past mile 8 (but it's not the last hill). Otherwise a good day.

I ran 5 at lunch it's hot and humid around 90. Time to start getting up early for my runs!

Ran 6 at my faster pace - easier than I expected. I just need to man up and start running on the streets rather than the treadmill. I think I'll just cut over to the National Mall and do my shorter weekday runs there.

Someone stole my running shoes from the locker room at my gym at work. I hope I had some incurable, fatal foot fungus and they catch it.

A hill at the very end of the MCM?

I've heard about a hill at the end of the MCM course? I'm not familiar with the area and a look at the course elevations don't show much for elevation changes, so what's up with this hill just before the finish line that I've been hearing about? Is this just bogus talk?

For the record, I'm ok with hills, just a little less so after 26 miles... Thanks for any info. I'd rather be forewarned and prepared.

I ran 3 miles today. I wasn't feeling the love of the road today. I was just put these miles in on principle.

Ran an easy/recovery 3 miles. This getting old stuff isn't for sissies. It takes me longer to recover.
