I was very surprised at my times this morning.  I ran Rosewick Rd which has a nice hill.  The road is flat until the beginning of mile 2, then it starts a 1/2 mile decline and a 1/4 mile incline.  Once I got to the top and finished my second mile, I turned around and ran back which meant 1/4 decline and 1/2 incline, then last mile flat.  

AP: 9:31  Splits:  9:37, 9:26,  9:41, 9:19.

The only reason I can credit for the good run is the oatmeal cookies I had at 12:30am because I couldn't sleep :) 

Or maybe I'm excited because my buddy is coming to visit.

I like your photo too!

Nice times on the Rosewick Run. Is that the new road that starts at the gold course?

I'll bet your friend is super psyched to see you too :-) Better save her some oatmeal cookies so she can run fast with you on Saturday.

Rosewick is the new road at the golf course.

I guess I better start cooking some oatmeal cookies cause I ate them all!

I want to make sure my buddy has the proper fuel.
