Hills in the Snow *

Today we stuck to running around 7 miles but we added hill play. I got this from Jeff Galloway's book: Marathon You Can Do It. We did about a 3 mile run around McKay Dee Hospital and then found a hill where we could run up and walk down. We would run uphill for a certain distance and walk back to the starting point. We did this 6 times. Then we took off up and down and back up Glassman Way. Then we turned around and ran back down and then up Glassman again and headed back home.

Heading up Glassman towards home I kept running and didn't stop again because I was ready to be home and was afraid that if I stopped I wouldn't get going again. Todd was a little behind me and Tom was a little behind him. Tom's time actually would have been closer to Todd's but he started walking right at the 7 mile mark because he didn't know me and Todd kept going to 7.25.

By the way...we did all of this run while it was snowing. Earlier this week it looked like Sunday was supposed to be the better day to run but it turns out we were wrong. It wasn't cold but the snowflakes on the eyeballs start to hurt after awhile. I'm proud of us. We easily could have backed out of this run but we ran right out the door and didn't look back.
