This is the first of 3 major hills and 2 minor hills on my route. I hit the bottom of this one at the beginning of mile 3.

With views like that it probably would make it easier to do morning runs.
The hills look brutal.

It does if you don’t get caught.

Navy prt standards are lame, 1.5mi run 14-16min or something like that based on age.. I averaged 9-10min when I was younger and 10-11 toward the end to retirement..
NCW were pt hounds, 8 count body builders, be-gin and assorted fun cardio games..
I don't run now but Mrs Bee 10 years my younger is a running / gym freak but keeps that smokin bod in top shape..
I need to get back to some form of exercise, an inch from 50, I've put a few pounds on driving the desk  |
Sometimes when I’m having a tough run I’ll do cadence in my head.

I see these weight loss program claims something like "Lose 5# in the first two weeks!". I think, "Really? Is that all?". I can lose 5# in two days just by watching what I eat.

I’ve seen diet programs that you 10lbs in 3 days. Not something that can be done consistently. I’m not saying that it is healthy either.
I’d say losing weight is done in the kitchen and gaining strength is from doing.
Over all health is doing both.
