A Few Good Miles

I mapped out a 12 mile hilly route from the house this morning. Raincreek Pkwy from Great Hills to Fireoak, left on Fireoak to Yaupon then home via Oakview and my regular Sadie loop. I didn't wear a watch but Ruth Anne noted the time as I went out the door and when I got back I had run 12.1 miles in under 1:33 for an overall pace of 7:40ish. I felt very strong up the hills and fast on the flat return portion. I may have finally pushed through my running malaise. I have about 62 miles in the bank this week and plan to run 8 barefoot miles tomorrow morning at Zilker.
