Location: Wilson Boulevard
Distance: 3 miles
Total Miles For August: 35 miles

Today’s schedule (since I have no spinning class this week) said to run 8 hill repeats, plus a mile warm up and a mile cool down. So, feeling brave, I headed off to the massive hill on Wilson Boulevard near the retirement center. Oooooof. I’ve ran up that hill once before (towards the end of what I think was a 10- or 12-miler, it’s all a little hazy now) and it kicked my butt so bad I had to walk a portion of it. And it’s only an eighth of a mile long! Well, let me just say that I’m glad I had a good run yesterday, because this? Not a good run. After four repeats I called it quits; I thought about running a fifth repeat and actually felt sick to my stomach. Bleah.

Next week my goal will be to up the repeats to six, I think.
