Hill running

[Today: 3.0 miles – hills in town]

On Wednesday evening there is a group in Columbus that does a regular hill route.

Then on Thursdays there is a track group in Starkville.

Also on some Wednesdays I help with teaching an elementary-age Bible class at the church.  I alternate with two other people.

Anyway, the track group takes me at least two weeks of recuperation.  And I was there two weeks ago.  Last week I was the Bible class teacher.  So this week it was hills.  I had a good run.  I tried to run hard.  We do a loop up a big hill 4 times and then a shorter hill one time.  But the interval between the trips up the hill changes, getting shorter each time. So the trips up the hill get slower as I tire while the rest between gets shorter.  And that last one is the same height gain over about 1/3 the distance of the regular hill.  It is an interesting workout.
