Since I'm working just a 1/2 day at home today I decided to sleep in a bit and do the hill workout in the late morning hours. Quite the beautiful day today, about as perfect as could be for running up and down some hills.  It was a tiring workout but I was pleased I felt a lot better than last week. I'm never sure how to log these hill miles, they certainly aren't easy even though the ave pace is in the easy range.  I think today I'll just count a couple miles as MP.

I have that same dilemma about how to log some of my miles.

I concur with the who-knows-what-the-heck to log some miles at.

It's not the speed at the miles but the intensity. If your hill miles were at a threshold intensity but at a marathon pace then I'd put the miles as threshold.
