AM: Recovery day for me. I ran with Kim down to the river bottoms and then joined her for her hill repeats - 6 x 2-minutes with about 3 minute recovery. It was impressive to see Kim charge up the hill for the full 2 minutes, over and over again. I believe her first rep was the slowest and last one was the fastest so she sped up most every time up. I was remembering how just a few months ago when we would go up even a pretty tiny hill she would often walk most or all the way. Now she rules the hills. Veyo beware. I guess maybe it's time to pay a visit to Harrys hill, perhaps on Saturday. Ave overall pace for the 7 miles today around 10 min/mi.

No more running for me today. I may do some core workout stuff later at the gym.

Uhhhhgggg! Harry's!? You didn't mention that to me! But that's OK! I'm ready to conquer all hills no matter what their name is!

BTW: Thanks for the nice remarks! You are very helpful to me in getting me where I am today, and where I want to go!

I finally have a day of more miles than you. I'm sure it won't happen to often.

What's gotten into you Terry? Maybe you'll be going for quality and quantity this week after all?
