This morning I did 5 hill repeats … kinda with my dogs. This is the hill my home in NC is on. Here are the deets:
The last hill, I didn’t really complete. A car came downhill as I went up, with my little Shih-Tzu following behind me. I slowed to make sure the car could tell she was there. My other dog was gracefully passing me as I went up.
The temperature was about 32 degrees, feeling in the 20s. Sunny and peaceful. I did alright going up the hills–it’s definitely tougher toward the end of these .09-mile lengths. Oh, and the maps are a bit misleading: I started at the stop sign at the base of the hill, and I finished at the next-door neighbor’s mailbox. Garmin maps kinda funny sometimes. I see that Garmin didn’t always recognize my elevation. Thanks a ton, Garmin–I definitely felt the incline!
