I ran eleven miles out of the Hinckley nine-mile loop today. It appears that Ledge Road is closed for a while due to bridge construction, and the detour takes us farther south, to Remsen Road. While others have ventured those extra couple miles at times, the route was new to me.
My thought was that it couldn't be any more hilly than the original nine. Au contraire; my Garmin tells me the total elevation gain was 998 feet today, whereas I believe that it's around 750 for the usual course. And I felt every single one of those extra 248 feet. And we haven't lost Effie. Slow going, but at least I made it.
I made it back up to 80 miles this week. It wasn't easy, but now I'll try to do it again. And again.
