Some hills, some friends and a new mantra

Had a great run this morning. Arrived a little late but caught up with the slower group after about a mile and ran with them for a bit and then finished alone. Read a post about a new running mantra to think as you run. It’s Lengthen (lengthen your spine), level (level your pelvis) and lift (focus on lifting rather than pounding your feet). I modified it slightly to 2 four beats of Lean-Lengthen-Level-Lift and then Relax-relax-relax-relax. This is what I thought of as I ran and it was awesome. Here is the post I did for the CRC on it. Really an enjoyable run at a comfortable pace with a lot of hills.
