11/8: Thursday hill walk

Thursday’s are hill walk days. At least, they are supposed to be and I actually did just that today. I found this route via MapMyRun and it includes a few very steep up-hills and one super steep downhill. The downhills actually hurt my hip more – I have to be very careful during them. I never expect my speeds to be great on a hill walk and was a bit surprised at the stats my phone showed me. I think, however, that’s because it gave me extra-credit on the mileage. This is supposed to be around 3 miles, but today was a bit longer because I missed a turn. (It’s the first time it was after dark when I walked this and I didn’t recognize the turn corner in the dark.)
