The workout that...
I mentioned about a month ago that I got my self together, started using a training log, and began implementing various training sessions to improve speed, endurance, and pacing. Then I forgot to tell you how it went. It's hell turning 30 getting old. So here it is, a recap of my first foray into Hill Repeats:
Mile 1: I love this playlist. Ooh, this hill looks good.
Mile 1.5: Ok, here goes nothing.
Mile 1.6: Holy smokes, if I'm suppose to do this till I can't anymore I should stop. At one. Cuz my lungs damn near exploded, and I'm pretty sure I've drawn a crowd.

Mile 5.10: Five more repeats won't kill me, right? Besides my audience is gone.
Mile 5:5: I'm on top of the
Mile 5.9: I can see my building - feet don't fail me now.
Mile 6: HOME! Collapse onto floor. Comence sobbing once more as I recount the tale to M and the dogs. And they look at me like I've officially lost my mind.
