A Discovery in North Vancouver

The pronounced hills that I was saying that I missed in Austin? Well, I found them here in North Vancouver. (Which is perfectly OK!)

Last night after work, I pretty much went straight to bed near 7 p.m. Pacific time and slept most of the way through until 5 a.m. this morning. I spent a little bit of time online until about 6 a.m. then decided to head outside for a run -- especially while it isn't raining! (It was pouring last night after work!)

I have no idea how far I went, but the time on my watch reads: 50:02.11 -- 29:10.08 out and 20:52.03 back. However, I didn't take the same route back.

I was going to "google map" it later tonight and find out how far, but I had time! It was 4.493 miles -- call it 4.5 miles (what I suspected.) I figured that I wouldn't have had the same problem as getting the routes down in Spring in my subdivision where the streets are new. This part of North Vancouver, which is primarily residential with a little bit of an industrial mix, looks like it has been here for awhile.

Lots of inclines though (7 or 8 blocks up) and running back down them later, of course, was sweet! Got to air it out a little bit. Bottom line is that I feel good and refreshed from Sunday's 3M Half Marathon and I want to try and get in maybe three more runs before we have to leave for the airport Friday morning at 3 a.m. Pacific to catch a 6 a.m. flight back to Houston.
