On the Run - 7/18/8

3.71 mi / 1:00:44 min / 16:19 mpm

Since I always run with the dawg, I always run trails. Since I am always running trails, I am always running up and down hills.

It occurred to me this morning that running downhill is probably a bad idea. Your legs and joints are already under enough stress as it is - I can't imagine that adding to the stress by running downhill is helpful.

So I think my new rule is run up / walk down. Maybe that will help me stay off the injured list . . .
