It has been a couple years since I've run the Evans Valley/Steelhammer loop. It is a 5 mile route with 3 significant hills. This weekend That Guy and I ran it.
I hadn't had the confidence in doing the run. I knew the hills were glute busters and then you have 2 more miles to get home. I finally felt mentally and physically ready.
It was as tough as i remembered, but I was able to do it, not with ease but without feeling wiped out or discouraged. Rather i felt encouraged after, knowing that I'm getting stronger. Even running
down hill was better than I expected, my knees ached but not painful.
It's two weeks before my birthday run and a month before the sprint tri. I'm feeling pretty good about the 5k, I hope to get time on my bike in the next several weeks.
