If you see a hill...

Erin has a great route in Philly that we called "If you see a hill, go up it". It was about 10.5 miles, winding along Cobb's Creek park and just crossing City Line Ave, and showed a bit of everything that West Philly has to offer; it was perfect for a midweek "hump" run during a mileage buildup, or a short weekend run. I ran an East Bay version of that today, albeit shorter. I don't think I'm ready to name this one yet, but I wanted to see some of the roads that are labelled in dark red on my bike map (>15 degree grade). I worked my way up Dwight, almost to the end, before turning around to head past the stadium and around Berkeley Lab. The elevation profile at my turnaround looks like a ramp that one might use to send a rocket sled into orbit, but make no mistake, I wasn't running that fast. 22:38 out, 19:33 back, 5 miles in 43:11.
