Working the Hills

Pretty serious LR today -- we ran through the hills of NW Austin, think north of 2222 and west of Mopac. The group I started off w/ took it very easy in the beginning cuz we all knew what we were up against: Mt Climber, Cat mountain, Mt Bonnell, Dry Creek, & Ladera Norte. The serious hills were in the first 11 miles, though, there were regular climbs the rest of the way too. The paced dropped after 11 and we ran something like low 7s to high 6s from 12 on. Surprisingly, there were about 7-9 people w/ us at 18. At the finish, though, there were like 2-3. 22.5 miles for the run at a 7:27 pace.
