Last night was the first hill workout of the season. I might be a bit of a masochist, but I actually prefer hills to regular speed workouts. I can't explain it, because I think most would agree that hills are harder and more daunting than regular sprints. I shall consider myself lucky.
I had Christine with me and we crushed our hill repeats with amazing consistency. I have a tendency to go out too fast (that's what she said), so my first repeat is usually hideously fast and then they successively get slower. Not the case last night! I was really consistent from start to finish and I didn't feel like I was going to throw up or pass out at the end. I'm becoming a stronger runner - both in physical running strength and in learning how to train smarter - and it feels good! I wasn't even too sore today, which again is fabulous.
This weekend we're off to New Paltz for a training camp of sorts, consisting of a 10 mile trail run and bon fire with s'mores on Saturday, followed by a recovery run and bootcamp on Sunday. Given my performance in the mud run where I wiped out on the trail run portion, I think it's safe to say that I'm definitely going to fall this weekend. The over/under on how many times that will be is set at 6. I'm taking "over".
