2021 RunBlogRun, week # 4, Summer mileage, day 2

Running in the hills does many things for the cross country runner. First, hills build strength and speed. Secondly, getting out in the woods, clears the head and gives one a break from the modern, day to day challenges of a pandemic. It is the secret sauce, and hills will make you fit. So, enjoy!
