Hill Repeats!

Before yesterday's run, it was hard for me to fathom seeking out a big, long, sloping hill to run up over and over again. But, that's just what we did- FIVE TIMES. The group met at the school where we have been using the track. It was a big group, considering the recent downpours and gray skies.

We jogged slowly down the first hill and charged up the first incline. Right turn into the park and slowly jogged down, down, down hill. Our instructions, stride to the top with even motions and arms pumping, then jog back down- three times. At the end of number three, the group gathered and applauded the final finishers, which was great motivation for us slower hill climbers.

Then, we headed back to the school, jogging slowly down that hill that we ran first, then running the hill that we had started jogging down. After that, a little stretching and talking about running, kids, getting discouraged, losing weight, etc. All in all, a great run with a great group.
