6 miles!

Awoke this morning at 5:15 (well, really not until about 5:30), heard "Rocky", got ready and met the group for our last clinic at 6:45. This was about agility drills which was practicing all our drills we do at track practice. I said, " So this means we get to take off one of the miles we have to run today right?!"No such luck! :)

So afterwards, we set off for our 6 mile run (jog). We ran in the Biltmore Forest area today. Fabulous houses, great old trees, and a very peaceful place to run. However, instead of steep hills, this run had very long, steady climbs; and lots of them! Of course, this made for a great return downhill run!

Another girl and I decided when we started out that we wanted to at least jog the whole thing; no stopping to walk today. And we did it! We jogged 6 miles and it took us 1 hour and 13 minutes. So, we're still looking at about 12 minute miles. But, this is a great time for me and hills right now! I'm so glad that Kiawah Island is flat!!! :)
