A New Hill Killer

I set on yesterday for my favorite type of run: hills. I wanted to take a new approach to this run, so I decided to vary my route. For those familiar with Bountiful, 4th north leads you up to the Bountiful Temple. I decided I would put part of that run into my hill workout. I started the run from the house, then went up to 13th east; that is where I met 4th north. I started the climb thinking this wasn't too bad (and thankfully it wasn't). I did not realize the length full, but am happy to report it was a strong run up. The only downside was something sharp got into the base of my shoe, so for a little I heard clicking. I quickly dispensed of whatever it was to continue on. I then ran past the Temple (gorgeous lit up in the morning by the way) and down the other side. The decent is not so fun, and my thighs/quads would still tell you it is tough. I then ran back down 13th east to where I started. Overall a great run, and hopefully the hills will continue to improve my mile time.
