This was a makeup of the workout I missed last Tuesday. Felt okay. Since I went out after sun rise, I could see the surroundings much better. While running the overpass on Wilson Road as my pseudo hill, I spied a huge, steep grassy hill about 3/4 mile away. I didn't go investigate because it looked like there was still snow and ice on the hill from yesterday's mini-storm. I'm thinking this is going to be the place for me to run hills. However, I'm guessing during winter this spot turns into a sledding run so I will most likely need to be selective as to when I run there and once the snow is here to stay, I doubt I'll be able to get onto that hill.
