Had my wife tow the kids in the bike trailer on my run yesterday. Turns out that lugging 100 lbs behind you up a hill is harder than running. Kudos to her. It certainly was nice to have a mid-run hydration that I didn't have to carry. Some serious hills in my neighbourhood, though; some 10% slopes even. Google Earth has an awesome path function that allows you to trace a path anywhere and it adds up the distance for you. Hence my exactly 5000 metre run starting and finishing in my own driveway. The other cool thing about the path function is the you can check the elevation at any point and Google Earth can measure the slope over any part of the path.
All that to say, I managed a 28:43 on 5K without killing myself. This is the first time so far I've finished the run and felt good afterward. Even felt energized and wanted to go run again...weird.
