Balmy 16 degrees when I left - up to 19 degrees when I finished.  Lots of ice crystals on the road from the inversion fog.

I did hill repeats today.  First hill was about 1/3 of a mile long with a block long steep section. 3 repeats on that hill.  Then I ran the hill from Creek Road to 13th East (a little steeper) 2 times. One more long uphill on the was home plus some small ones in between.  Felt a little pulling behind the left knee at 6.5, but it eased up after a few minutes - so think it is okay.

Geesh - I ate healthy yesterday and my weight went up 3 pounds!

Good job on the hills girl!

What's up with the weight gain? It's got be water retention or something.

The hills can cause some Hamstring issues. WAtch that knee. If I ice it, it goes away ;)
