Hill Running

Week Three, and my training program today called for running six miles of hills.  So I ran up Big Bearpen, most of the way back down, and then back up again.  The view at the top, as always, was breathtaking.  On the top, I saw my friend Molly walking around the summit loop; she took one look at me and said, "You must be in training."  And I realized that I was.

It reminded me of what Dr. George Sheehan famously said - recently seen in Runners World:

"Everyone is an athlete.  

The only difference is that some of us are in training, 

and some are not."
