A couple of days I go, I was beset by a cough, only a day after I made the comment that I had been healthy for such a long time. Figures. This cough presented a dilemma, thanks to the beautiful weather yesterday. But sunshine and wanting to keep alive my two-days-per-week runs won out.
Not wanting my lungs to give out at the beginning of the run, I decided to walk up the killer hill. Turns out, that was a good plan. I still had to contend with a (less daunting) hill at the end of mile one, but I made it through the entire run with nary a cough and lungs still intact. And it was nice, for once, not to be huffing and puffing so soon into my run. For the record, that hill is a challenge even when you briskly walk it.
This afternoon, I plan to take a leisurely walk, including my favorite hill and knowing I got in my runs for the week. Go me.

My experiences, as a novice, not-too-fast "runner" in and around Pittsburgh. I took a three-year hiatus from running and am now back in the game.
Final Race for Pace
About Me
My name is Faith, and I have been running off and on since I was in high school in the mid to late '80s. I ran quite a bit at the beginning of this century; then I pretty much abandoned it. I returned to running in the fall of 2009 and decided to write about my past experiences as well as some more recent ones.
Since I live in Pittsburgh, I decided to call this blog "Running Around the Burgh" although what I do is really jog. And I typically run in the suburbs (or in another county altogether), but the Burgh is a state of mind as much as a place.
