June 27: The Slowest 4 Miles on Record

I've started to wonder if all the "hills" I've climbed in lieu of actually jogging on the rat wheel has actually done me any good in terms of actually getting in shape. Today was time to actually find out. Zipping along at a 14-minute mile pace, and a searing incline of 1 percent, I trotted along for 4 miles ... without stopping! Seeing as how I haven't actually jogged in a really long time, this was an accomplishment for me. To tell you the truth, it was a piece of cake. The hills and steps really do make a difference.
