See the tops of the trees? Oooo….
According to my training plan, today I’m supposed to tackle this hill… running up and down it multiple times. I’m praying for rain so all I have to do is intervals on the flat treadmill… 😉

That one is definitely a mother hill…but you’ll get over it, unless the rain gods smile upon you 🙂

It is! Remember to keep arms down when going up to conserve energy and lean forward so you’re perpendicular to the hill when running down– I’ve learned these moves through a lot of hill trial and error! Have fun!

“As you run up the hill it will start to disappear.” Just pace yourself and keep your head up. You can do it!

I like to run hills with my eyes pointed down in the hope the when I look up again, I’ll be pleasantly surprised at how little there is left to go. Usually doesn’t work though

Haha! Hi Lydia! I ran it tonight because it didn’t rain, 😦 . I made it 1-1/2 times then crawled home! But it’s a start and something I can now improve upon! 😀 Hope you have a great weekend!!

Of course it never rains the one time you want it to! At least you have trying it the first time under your belt; it’ll only get easier from here! And 1-1/2 is impressive anyway! 🙂 Thank you, I hope you have a great weekend as well!!

That hill looks scary, but it also looks like it will make you very strong. And you’re lucky to have a hill like that to train on! And you will get over it. 🙂 Looks like a fun training season ahead.
