Hills are in the books... whew...

We had a solid turnout at the hill workout tonight.  All the banter of weather never really came into play... in fact, many runners were over dressed and making adjustments on the run.  

We saw Andy Becker pre-run, he's a bit under the weather, and wasn't able to join us, but he and Tracy  did donate a used desktop computer to the O'Leary's!   That will come in very handy as the kids battle for internet  time (for homework/research, of course not for facebook, IM or all that stuff).

Taking part in tonight's workout were (and I apologize in advance for no pics, it was a straight from track practice thing for me tonight),  Renee K, Renee S, Mason, Melby, Roger, Trevor, Randy Q, Andy, Joe, Woo and myself. It was interesting as the run progressed, some ran the same hill repeatedly, and others ran back and forth between two hills (the two hills offered different challenges, one was longer and the other was monster steep).   Those who went back and forth, actually had a higher qty of hill climbs, but essentially the same mileage.   

In the absence of pics... I thought I'd share this link on "how to run hills".   I think hills sometimes intimidate a little, but the more you know how to navigate them, the better served you will be on race day.    Enjoy!
