Comments:
Drove up to Occidental this afternoon with family. Set off pretty soon after arriving with Cooper. Tried the route I'd run last year, thinking it would be 6+ miles. Downhill for first 2.5 miles on Graton Road and then hard right onto Occidental back towards town. It alternated between moderate rises, mild rises, and flats. Got to the point where I was feeling pretty good on mild slopes and flats, but anything steep would wreck me. Sent Cooper ahead around mile 5, but he looped back for me as we turned right with a mile+ to go. Felt good enough on that last mile to convince myself I should work hard up the last, steep 2 minute hill to the house. That hurt, but was satisfying. A dip in the pool before an excellent dinner was appreciated. Legs will feel the hills for a few days.
