Week 5 - Day 1 - 4 Miles

“A marathon. I think, you’re at mile twenty and you have six more to go and your body is just battered and bleeding and miserable. I would rather be dead.” - Jillian Michaels (when asked about her "workout hell")

Turns out there is a mini-forrest quite near Multnomah Village in Gabriel Park. I love these new discoveries! This run gave me plenty of hills (again) which really did slow me down this time. I shamefully admit I walked one of them. However I felt that I finished strong on the last VERY steep hill that brought me back into the village. I was totally spent. I felt pretty weak during this entire run, maybe it was because I had run hills the day before. As I approached my car I caught a glance at my backside in a shop window and I must admit, things are looking "up" back there! At least there is some visible payoff for all this sweat!!
