Very nice text editing extension, Sasha! Thanks! Today was rather interesting. It was unbelievably windy again, gusts up to 50 mph. I ran about 3 mi. warmup and started hill repeats in Primrose Hill park. Of course, it so happens that the direction of the hill was right into the wind. The hill was very steep too. So, I was working hard, but moving up very slowly and feeling like I was running on an air pillow (kind of like if you put your hand out the car window while driving fast). After about 30-35 sec.on each repeat my legs would die, but I still tried to concentrate on maintaining good form. I ran about 40 sec.-1 min. up before starting back down again. I could only manage 8 repeats with all this going on, and I couldn't go faster than 8:40 pace! Interestingly, I was not the only one crazy enough to do hill repeats in this wind - there was another runner on the hill next to my hill, doing the same thing. His form looked much better than mine, I think. After I was completely dead, I shuffled home another 1.6 mi. to give me 6mi. for the day. Total time 55:31. |
