in the new year so far, i have run a fair bit, although not as long as i ever want to. but i have also been including HILLS... today i did 2.5 murderous miles of hill training on a treadmill and basically died. i am now dead. after that, i taught a strength class, but mostly was dead.
this weekend i'm going to new york (we're getting one of the gangs back together) and i aim to run in a park (with any luck both central and prospect parks) and also have a raucous good time. so, running might be a little slow some mornings.
... aaand, so what am i training for? in a cruel twist of fate, i was literally on the website signing up for my planned february 25k night trail race when the race site updated to say they had SOLD OUT! horrid! rage!
... so i responded of course by rashly signing up for the 30k race in march. ... and the second half of that race has HILLS... which brings us back to where we started.
after next week, i will have a little more time to breathe, and with my deep breaths i will get some more long runs in. i've done a couple 9-10 milers since boxing day but there will need to be more double digits to survive ATB with some modicum of dignity.
onwards!
