Last Saturday, I ran the Dreaded Druid Hills 10K for the second year in a row. For a recap of last year, click here. This year, I wanted to run it again, especially since I was beginning to miss racing.
The hills were still dreaded. Over the course of the race, there is a 123 feet climb. Seriously, absolutely crazy climbs. Last year, I was too busy focused on getting up the hills to realize how twisty the hills are – there are some ridiculous spirals.
My focus was on finishing not on a PR. I was glad for that as my time was 1:36 which was slower than last year. One thing I didn’t do this year was wear my ProCompression socks. A decision that I did regret later that day when my calves were on fire! From now on, I will #KeepItTight!
Do you train on hills? How do you recover after a hot, sweaty run?

One of these days I am going to tackle this race! The weather was perfect for this race this year!

It really was a great day for a race. Maybe we’ll run it together next year!
