I have nice, lovely humps.
Actually, I just run them. And they're called the Talmadge Bridge in Savannah. In training for the Double Pump, which is the 5k plus 10k race, I have run the bridge a few times to gain more confidence. See, you have to finish the first part (5k) in under 40 minutes. Which is fine. Usually. Except that damn bridge is Bleepin' HUGE! But after an early morning 5.5 mile run in this--

My confidence level went from a 3 on a scale of 1-10. My 5k time (once over bridge... but yeah, damn, we still have to run back over) was right around 36 minutes.
So I decided to run the blessed thing again. The Very Next Day. I almost felt like Skinny Runner when she ran RnR Savannah & NYC Marathon in the same weekend. Maybe one day, I will be as cool as her. At least my dog is as cool as Marni. So on Saturday, I met up with a little group of #RunSav peeps and off we went....

And don't think we didn't eat yummy goodness after our 6 mile run Saturday morning. Dan, who took above photo, ate a scrumdiddllyumptious piece of chocolate cake. Sarah had a "precious" apple thing. Marc and I are lame. We had bagels and cream cheese.We runners heart Gallery Espresso... check em' out if you are ever in Savannah!
Confidence rating after Bridge Run #2: 7 on 1-10
This morning I settled into a great pace for a four mile tempo. Average pace was 11:33. Feeling good and even tackled the Islands Bridge.
Confidence rating on Monday morning: 9 on 1-10
Let's Pump like Champs! DOUBLE PUMP!
QOD: Are you doing the Bridge Run in Savannah? Or what do you run to work on hills?
I still have never made it home for the Bridge Run, but it's at the top of my list of races for someday! I actually love love love running that bridge, it takes me back to Sunday mornings in high school when my XC team would go out and do it. It's such a good kind of hurt :)
