Today the team got in 7 out at Greg’s. It was very hilly at the start and at the finish! Come to think of it, it was hilly in the middle too! There were several points along the way where I was really struggling…especailly at that last climb, where it was all I could do to keep putting one foot in front of the other. I really think that there must be something wrong with me to get so out of breath at times. On the upside, it was a great challenge for me and for everyone else. To be completely honest though, I am a little disappointed that, after all these weeks of running and building some stamina, I don’t have more endurance for hills. Anyway, we did move at a good pace. I forgot to stop my watch at the end (I guess that I was just delirious that it was over) so I can only guesstimate that our time was about 68 minutes. That’s under 10 min/mile average, and in keeping with what we’ve been doing, despite the hills.
Great job everybody! Thanks again Greg for coming up with a REALLY challenging route!
good job on Saturday man. I think the hills surprised a lot of us and we thought that we would be able to makeit further and faster. The truth of the matter is we stuck with the same pace (if not a little better) and pushed up some monster hills. Keep up the good work!
hey, my mom said I should check out your run blog. That’s crazy that you’re into running now! i’m impressed. and don’t get discouraged about a hard run on hills, hills suck, and i was always told not to get too discouraged or too excited about any one workout, that it’s about the months of training before and after that. good luck!
Thanks Kelly!
