Last hard hill workout before Boston and it went really good. It is so rewarding to see improvement, for example here is my first hill workout back in December on the same hill and distance. 12/15/05- Pah Tempe 3xhill 1-2:33, 2-2:33, 3-2:33 And here is today's 3/30/06-Pah Tempe 6xhill 1-2:12* beat all time PR which was 2:18 right off the bat. Couldn't believe I ran it that fast. 2-2:10** New PR, "wait a second I just ran 2 seconds faster than the first one, I still have 4 more to do, I am going to die for sure today." 3-2:13 4-2:13 5-2:13 this one was really hurting 6-2:13 I am most surprised and pleased that I was able to run 2:13 on the last 4. After the workout I was feeling so pumped I decided to do an easy 4 mile cool-down instead of just the 2 I was planning. Did 2 mile warm-up to begin with. Side note: Tonight I wore my "lucky" new blue shorts. I have wore these shorts now three times and each time have had great workouts. |
