Hills 1:10:36

Tuesday, Nov 10, 2009

We were lucky to have a warm and dry morning for the wo today. Jim, Ian, Dave and Nick were my training buddies this morning. I find this wo one of the toughest: 30′ of 1′ hill repeats on Hillwood Dr. Jon reminded me the day before not to run them like a lunatic.  We did this wo a couple of weeks and was a brute, especially in the last three reps so I was hoping today I would feel perkier. I stayed in contact with my form as best as I could, especially near the top where it gets really steep. I didn’t go as far as the guys but I got to the same spot on every rep and was able to start each rep with them. Our rests were about 82″ and were consistent and we got in 13 climbs this time in the 30′. I did it with a lot more gusto this week.  Good wo everyone!

Oh, and we had spectators this morning. Two curious deer stood on some one’s driveway (I love Victoria!) and watched us run by them, up and down, back and forth…probably thought we were absolutely nuts.
