2008- Run 80 Hills

HILL REPEATS 1
Well, it was early to bed last night so I could get up early for my first run in the strength phase of the plan. Starting from the Algonquin Hotel, I jogged down Prince of Whales to Doons, the ran back up to the top of the hill by the High School at Frederick; then jogged back dow to Doon's ad nauseum. Two sets of 3 with a five and a half minute rest in between. The first set was actually the most difficult! Perhaps I was pushing it harder, I'm not sur, but I was dying by the last hill of the first set! On the way back down the hill after the third repeat, I ALMOST had myself convinced that I should just end on the one set for today. I had about a zillion excuses floating around in my head as to why I should just finish the workout early and jog around town back to the Algonquin.I walked down the old trail a bit while I was recovering and decided I would just do one more. Well, after the rest, my legs felt very heavy for the first few blocks, but the second set itself wasn't so bad! I'm glad I stuck with it and finished. I had some help from a lady who lives on that street who brought me out a glass of water once she noticed that I was running back and forth by her house! Nice weather day. Sunny and 20 degrees C.
