Low on time, I elected local roads, hilly roads for my short run today. After throwing on my Disney half marathon race shirt (my first big race) I ran one five mile loop utilizing two of the biggest hills in this resort 
Then, because I wanted to run against traffic, I ran the side of PCH without a sidewalk – in the midst of rush hour. Just a bit nerve wracking, I kept a close eye on those cars racing by, ready to dive into the bushes if one made even the slightest swerve.
Road Running! It’s not so much for me any more. Hardly anyone ever smiles. I came across 3 or 4 runners (on the flat parts), all of them wearing frowns, or at least SERIOUSLY thinking (let’s just say that, they were deep in thought – they weren’t unhappy, because they were running! – or maybe I’m just too silly-hearted – but anyone who knows me, knows that’s not true!)
Well, then this silly-hearted woman ran up Selva away from the ocean. At the top I turned around and snapped a photo with my phone to commemorate the day that running up Selva was no big deal.
Miles logged this evening: 5.25

Thanks! I can't believe how much anxiety I have over this. And then I went and slammed the car door on my knee today! : ) nerves. Good luck to you too -- may you not slam the door or anything else on your knee.
