I ran the full hill on Iroquois park on Friday afternoon: Sunny and mid-80s. I had a sluggish start, but enjoyed being able to run in the near-summer temperatures after missing out on running most of last summer. The “real uphill” to the top never seems to give me any trouble, although it is somewhat tiring.

Today’s run was back on the treadmill for the first time in 4 days, continuing the streak at 56 days. I added a long sleeve technical shirt to offset the effect of being under the air conditioning vent in the basement.
