Tuesday I officially kicked off my Mini training plan with a workout consisting of "hill repeats." A little background for you on hill workouts. A runner (in this case me) does a warm up run (I did one mile) then finds a hill about 200 meters in length (half the distance of the inside lane of the standard track that you find around a high school football field). Starting from the base of the hill the runner charges up the hill at a pretermined pace. On Tuesday I ran up the hill six times at a brisk pace. Then the runner does a cool down run (1 mile back home for me).
The weather was great for a run, although a bit windy. The temp hovered right at the 50 degree mark and only a spattering of rain from time to time. I wore shorts, a short sleeve shirt and arm warmers and actually got a little too hot. I am happy with the start and looking forward to a rigorous and rewarding training period!
