take that, west side hills
oh those hills. always my Achilles' heel in races. Always the reason why I always seem to bomb mile 3 in those 4-milers that start/end at 72nd. I kicked their ass today...haha. The workout was 3 round trips...start at west 86th, run to the water fountain at west 93rd. recover and repeat. I've always felt the clockwise (northbound) direction is easier than the counterclockwise (southbound) direction...and I guess my splits show that too. GMaps says this distance is .4035 miles. I'm believing it. :-D
| Repeat number | Time | Pace | Comment |
| 1 | 2:51 | 7:03 | northbound-really tried hard not to rabbit! had someone else to pace with. |
| 2 | 2:51 | 7:03 | southbound-ran this one with my pacer and one of our masters superstars |
| 3 | 2:49 | 6:58 | northbound-my pacer said she was pulling back on this one. ha. |
| 4 | 2:50 | 7:01 | southbound-my pacer stopped after this one...oh what will i do pacing on my own... |
| 5 | 2:46 | 6:51 | northbound-whoa!! where the hell did that one come from? |
| 6 | 2:51 | 7:03 | southbound-tired as hell, but hung in there |
Combined with a warm-up and cool-down, that gave me about 4 and a half miles for the day. I think I've earned the right to take it easy (well intensity-wise at least, not mileage-wise) until the half on Sunday! And the right to sip on some red red wine tonite while

nice hill workout--i never thought to do hills in CP. I should try that sometime.
I guess I'll see you tonight on the Great Lawn ;)
Good workout. Definitely take it easy until the half.
