baboon, I commented in FB but here too. Hope you feel better!
I think you did!
I think I did some hills today. :-p Was supposed to do 8 miles, but ended up doing just under 10. This is the last scheduled hill workout of my training cycle. I've actually come to enjoy running the hills, and I can tell my leg strength has improved over the past 8 weeks of doing these. I managed to average just at 10:00 per mile, which is what I'm supposed to be doing on my easy runs (but I have a problem slowing it down). Maybe I should just put more hills into my easy runs. :-p

I started a blog about running :) Check it out if you care to
15.22 easy miles, 8:18 pace with sunglasses in effect. Chopped a bunch of ice out of the driveway, played 9 holes of disc golf, DW treated me to dinner, got a fire going in the woodburner, Survivor, bed. Life is good once in a while.

I could almost just say ditto ... except mine was an even 15 @ 8:22 with sunglasses. Cleared ice from the driveway and DW made dinner as well
Wonder how our third virtual RP's (happylily) run went & if she got to wear sunglasses and have dinner served.
Train smart ... race smarter.
Pae, that's awesome :-) I'd be dead tired after doing hills like that. I know I NEED to do hill training, in order to get more well rounded, but I have been avoiding hills like the plague. And it is very hard to find a hill where I live, so that doesn't help...
At least I got my 10 miles in today. Garbage cans and trash + recycle bins blowing down the street with gusts over 45mph, so I opted for the dreadmill at the gym. Got it done though. :-)
