6 hilly miles in southern Illinois

I forgot how hilly southern Illinois can be. I did 6 miles this morning at 8a from Dix, IL. The north/south roads had the hills. Tall steep ones. The main east/west road had a couple long gradual hills. I'm not sure which ones I despise more. I also encounted my first dogs running with me but luckily, they were nice and just ran next to me; no barking, no biting.

Do you have a preference for hills on roads?

I don't have my laptop, so I can't upload Phil's stats. will post the Bones in Motion data later.
