Hills northwest Ohio style

I dont blog every run just the ones that I have learned something or tried something new. Since I have the elevation map of the MCM, I have decided that I need to add hills to my run. Unfortunately, I live in northwest Ohio where we have small mounds but hills are few and far between. So, I decided to run the next best thing....the overpass. I did just that today. I ran up it three times and down it four. Yes, the fourth run up....I walked it. But it was a run down and as soon as I got to the base, I turned back around to go back up. Next time, I will not run as far away from the hill on the first run over so that I have more time. I tried one of the runners on the first timers board of counting as you run up the hill to keep your mind occupied. It worked. Someone else thinks of running through the hill. I dont mind running them. Tomorrow is my first "official" training day. I am used to focusing on running by miles and not time. So it is going to be an adjustment to get used to running that way again.
