Today I was scheduled to to 3xHill. I drove to a grade school close by and ran 1 mile to a pretty good hill. I planed on running 3 - 1/2 mile hill repeats. The first two went well, but the last one my legs just wouldn't work. The last 1/2 mile turned into 1/4 mile hill repeat. Finished the hill repeats and ran the 1 mile back to my car.
The real reason I stopped short of my goal is right in the middle of the hill was a family having a garage sale. Everyone was sitting on the front steps watching me run up and down the hill. I was already feeling stupid running in front of them so many times, but then when I started to struggle I really didn't want to run in front of them.......Is that shallow of me or what?
Warm up = 9:22
First Hill = 8:52 Second Hill = 8:41 (almost) Third Hill = 8:35 This time is faster because I didn't go as far up and started to head back to the car on a flat road.
Cool down .75 of a mile = 6:24 |
