Hill Repeats, I Hate You

Today my tiny little boot camp trainer (aka my friend Penny) kept us right on schedule - hill repeat Thursday. We met a little earlier today (5:45 am) to be sure we had enough time to get it all in. I pull up to see Penny there, but no Gina. Hmmm, well, Gina is always a few minutes behind us so we didn't think much of it - until she was 5 minutes late. She's never that late. Penny called her .... and she was sitting waiting for the COP to give her a ticket. ooops. Gina likes to go fast .... and not just running :)

Welp, 6 times up and down that sucker. It was hard and I hated just about every part of it. Except going down of course. One of the best things about having friends to run with is the accountability. I would NEVER do this kind of training without the girls holding me to it. Hill repeats, speed work at the track - yeah, I would never do those things.

Each time up, we put one of these one the sidewalk to remind ourselves how many times we tortured ourselves today!Oh and we saw a little snake. eeeek!

On a non-running note, I enrolled my kiddo today for school. Where did our summer go? I look forward to school starting, but I'm always just a bit sad to see the pools close. I feel the need to fit one more thing in before school starts. What's something fun we should do?!

A cool thing - I have a giveaway coming soon! Yippee!
