We set out to do a warm-up run of 3 miles, then mount Great Hill up, down, and back 3-4 times.  We lasted for 1 before Elizabeth suffered from a little injury so I called it quits.  But we did it once, and I got to introduce her to the kind of training.<\/p>\n<p>We started off with a very slow (well, it felt that way anyway) jog up to the Great Hill area.  We crossed the 102nd St. Transverse so I could show her where the turnaround point was.  We jogged up then down the hill then to find our starting point.  Here are those deets:<br \/>\n<iframe width='465' height='548' frameborder='0' src='http:\/\/connect.garmin.com:80\/activity\/embed\/52873837'><\/iframe><br \/>\nIn that jog I felt really wretched.  My legs felt as if they had two medium dogs clutching my calves with their teeth.  I wasn&#8217;t sore so much as just uncomfortable running.  Eventually I warmed up but the psychic pressure was tough.<\/p>\n<p>When Elizabeth and I started our hill repeats, I took off like a ROCKET!  Halfway up the hill I really started to conk out, though.  I got down the hill at a decent speed, then back up decently too, then back down I picked up speed.  While I&#8217;ve felt faster in my hill sprints on Great Hill, turns out I did pretty well!  I did it in 6:44.  Last year I don&#8217;t think I ever cracked 7:00.  Granted, last year I probably ran about 90 feet more (I put my turnaround point this year too soon, but it did make for nearly an exact mile!), but it was still a strong showing, much better than I expected.  Here are the deets from the first (and only) hill:<br \/>\n<iframe width='465' height='548' frameborder='0' src='http:\/\/connect.garmin.com:80\/activity\/embed\/52873844'><\/iframe><br \/>\nElizabeth had a pain in her shin (it&#8217;s been nagging her) and a pain in her ankle, both of which were aggravated by the last downhill.  I decided we should stop, so we subwayed back after stretching.  She did pretty awesome, though!  I think she did the same distance in 7:16.<\/p>\n<p>The weather was glorious: cloudless and cool at 64 degrees in the early afternoon.  My body was probably &#8220;complaining&#8221; still from the huge mileage I did over the weekend, not completely ready or glycogen&#8217;d for running today.  But I got out!  And so did Elizabeth!  And we finally got to run again together!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I set out with Elizabeth to do some hill training.
