It’s hard to believe I bailed on last week’s hill workout because it was cold (44F) and raining. Today’s temperature was about 50 degrees warmer!
When I joined up with the group at 6:30 this evening, the thermometer in my car said it was 94 degrees. Where did spring go?
My time for each 200-meter hill is supposed to be 63 seconds, but I’ve been running them considerably faster. I knew I was going to have to slow down this week.

Considering the conditions? Not too bad!
It actually didn’t feel as horrible as I expected. There was a bit of a breeze on the bridge, and it isn’t too humid … yet.
That doesn’t mean it was easy. I was feeling pretty beat up on our run back to the store. It felt like I had gone much farther than 5.25 miles.
Two more weeks of hills are on the schedule (10 and 12), and then we hit the track. I’m kind of looking forward to it!
Nice workout, I love doing hill sprints, the ones I do are shorter though, maybe I should give some longer repeats a try!
By the way, I’m holding a core challenge competition on my blog? Would love to have you involved if it’s something you’re interested in!
