Throw back

This was an old school workout. By that I mean I used to do these dreaded things in high school. What is that you ask? Well, I am speaking about a workout none other than HILL REPEATS. ::gasp:: Yeah, you heard me right. Hill. Repeats. Today's high was 75 but it felt pretty toasty in the late afternoon sunshine.

I did 6 sprint hill repeats, jogging down the hill between each climb. The work out took 30 minutes total, including the warm-up run to the hill as well as the cool down jog back home.

Some fellow college kids were drinking on the front porch of one of the houses located on the hill. When they realized I kept returning for more punishment, they cheered for me a couple times. :D

Happy weekend y'all!

This was a fun workout and felt like it went by really quickly. It was so overcast and windy this morning, yet strangely warm-- the perfect setting for a mind-altering post-workout runner's high. I'm still basking in the after glow...ahhhsighofrelief.

In other news, my calves are still pretty tight from the Tofurkey Trot on Thursday because I rarely run barefoot over 1 mile on hard asphalt. You know what that means....bigger CALF MUSCLES!
