Total Distance
6.00

6 miles including hill repeats. Kam inspired me yesterday to do tempo/hill/etc. at least once per week. Hump day seems a good day for it. Just after my 2 mile mark there's a 1/4 mile downhill section that I only hit on my long runs, and it's a pain in the tail. Today I ran down the hill, then back up it 4 times. A couple times I did shorter repeats, which is probably a good strategy (Galloway recommends it) but at least twice I went all the way up, keeping good speed and sucking wind. Both of the full hill runs I hit the top doing about 7:30 pace and I feel really good about it. I timed my distance just right as I got in my 2 miles doing hills where I normally just get in 2 miles. After the hills I upped the tempo and finished the last two miles in 6:50 and 6:55. My last two are downhill, but anytime I can do them under 7 I feel really good about it. Boston, you're in my sights...

AP: 8:16 (had a 2-3 minute delay trying to figure out a blinking tail light and forgot to stop the watch) 

1X60 plank, 25 pushups.

Nice run! I need to work on some hills too, but I'm sure my hills are nothing like yours in Billings.

Off topic, I family family in Powell, Wyoming. We use to go to Billings every summer on day trips.

And that should have said "I *have family* sigh, sorry.

Thanks Camille! And too funny about family in Powell. Before moving to Billings I had no idea that there was a Mormon community in Northern Wyoming, but figured it out when 1/2 our ward here was all from the Powell area. They call themselves "County 9ers" from their license plates. Great people.

That's hilarious. Wyoming is the only state I know of tha tyou can tell exactly what County they come from just by looking at their license plates. I was born in Evanston, but obviously don't live there anymore. My Grandparents aren't actually members. They are Baptists. I'm the only person on that side of the family that is a member (well, and my husband and kids). Makes for interesting family reunions.
