We went up to the zoo trail and did hills, 3 different ones twice each. The third one we went up a different way that literally kept climbing for forever. We eventually continued up that hill to the top, and it was so steep. When we got to the top we did another hill, by now I was worn out, and another one that wasn't as bad. Then we took a different way back that included both steep uphill and downhill. And when I say steep I mean the one uphill seemed almost vertical. At least to me. And it continued going up and down until it finally connected with the zoo trail and we took it back to Sunnyside and went back through This is the Place. My new shoes felt amazing, but my ankles felt really tight going up to the trail and they hurt. They warmed up during the hills though, except then it was my calves and lower calves that hurt, and on the downhill my hip hurt but it was like inside the bone, idk how to describe it. But I hope it feels better tomorrow. I have realized that I really suck at hills. I like downhill, but not the steep parts we were running on, I can usually use downhill pretty well. I felt like maybe some of the hills though were just mentally tough for me so I did bad. I need to get better at that, too.
