7xhill, for 5.5 miles. Tonight I did a hill that is aboout .3 miles and has an elevation gain of about 65-70 feet. I had about a 1.09 mile warm up (to get to the bottom of the hill), then I went up at a pretty hard tempo, then jogged back down. I repeated it 7 times, then had about a .7 mile jog home to finish at 5.5 miles.
This was a little easier than I had expected. I was very pleased with my effort and also with the results. I was a little nervous for this run because of yesterday, and because I have been having funny stomach issues all day, but it went well.
