Did this run on my own. The weather was perfect and I felt good having chosen a hilly route to run. Definitely needed for my legs to get used to a hill or two.
Anything I'd do different? No, everything clicked. Could've worn shorts, but was okay wearing longer capri running pants.
Mid-week runs - ran 5 miles on Tuesday, ran 4 miles on Thursday; both on the treadmill at the gym. My 4 mile run on Thursday happened at 4:30pm. It was actually a great run and I was pleasantly surprised how well I did. Both times I ran 3 miles before stopping for a walk break.
