4.3 miles - hill repeats

I needed to do some kind of speed- or hill-work last night. Because it was warm (around 80° F), I wanted to stay in the shade. So I decided to do my hill repeats. Measured out (using Google Earth) an approximately 400 meter (about a quarter-mile) section of the hill in Sellwood Park. The start of it is over a mile away from my apartment, so I ran there.

Then, I ran up and down the hill four times, timing each leg. It's good for speedwork because most of the way is on gravel, not pavement - easier on impact.

I wasn't particularly fast, because, y'know, I've been neglecting the speedword lately... but I did manage to complete four full times up and down without stopping to walk. That felt good.

Upcoming: Going to run to work on Friday, and then do a long run (7+ miles, not sure, depends on how I feel) on Sunday.

Another project: adding up all the miles I've run this year. That'll be fun! I can put it into a spreadsheet...
