Hills Make a HUGE difference

So the girls & I arrived at our destination yesterday afternoon. It was an interesting drive. The girls did great. It took us five hours which is the farther I have driven by myself with the girls.
I set out all of my running stuff last night before bed. I discovered that I forgot to pack my heart rate monitor. Bummer. Thankfully I remembered my Ipod & Nike+. So I woke up bright and early this morning and got ready.
Our friends live in a beautiful neighborhood that has several neighborhoods all pushed up next to each other around a lot of ponds. One word: BEAUTIFUL. It was nice & sunny this morning with a slight breeze. My goal was just a short 2 mile run with plans` to run 3 miles tomorrow. It felt so good to run outside. The scenery was beautiful but there was one small thing that I didn’t take in to account: HILLS. Their neighborhood is slightly hilly. Hilly enough that it made a huge difference. Wow. So different from treadmill running. I would love to live in a neighborhood with these sidewalks for runs.
Off to go shopping with my friend & my girls. Fun stuff.
