A few years ago I moved to a new neighborhood, but today I went for a jog in my original running neighborhood, where I lived when I began my “adult-onset athlete” lifestyle. The old loop is a boulevard is 6 km around, and I remember the first day I ran aaaalllll the way around it. The loop contains a long gradual hill one way, and a steeper version of it on the other side. When I first began doing the loop I was thrilled to be able to do it just once in 45 minutes. Today I did it TWICE in 39 minutes per loop. I think the hill got a little smaller today. Yay me!
I had dropped off the Little Mermaid for a play date at our friends’ house before my run, and when I finished my run I washed up and changed for a snack and a nice visit. What a nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
All Downhill From Here 
That’s one of the things I like about the blog and my training log, I can go back and see how far I have come. Very cool!
