Sun, Snow and…hills

Saturday represented another first for me, 16 miles.  It was another beautiful winter day, sunny, snow on the ground and sometimes the road, and the peacefulness of quiet roads.  I love running in Barrington Hills, except for the HILLS.  I intentionally picked a course that has significant hills, and I know it is good training, but not a lot of fun.  According to my Garmin, my run had a total of 2900 ft of elevation gain.  That’s a lot of hills.  But if I had been running these routes a year ago life would be much easier now. 

My only question after 16 miles was…how do I find a way to do 10 more on April 19?  I hope to find out!
