39F, partly cloudy w/ full moon poking through. Calm & dry. Easy 3 miles, then hill repeats (4 x 1 min w/ 2 min recov., 15-17% grade), then another easy 3. 10 min. core & pushups. Other than being a little tired and having to blow my nose a few times, I felt pretty good today. I adjusted my scheduled hill repeats to 4 instead of 6 and didn't push to the maximum, as a concession to any lingering threat of illness. I found a new hill for my repeats, just as steep as Leg Builder but located on a quiet street. (Sean and Jeff, it's the very tail end of Douglas Ave., where it is no longer an arterial.) The odd thing was, I had an audience for a while. This guy was standing in his front window, seemingly watching me go up and down, up and down. "Hasn't he got anything better to do? Or is he watching the full moon set?" Just before the last rep, as it was shifting from amusing to annoying, his carpool picked him up and all was explained. Well, he'd better get used to it, because I thought it was a great spot for hill work and I'll be back. |
