Good Hill Session

The weather is just fantastic at the moment. Yeah, 50 in the morning would be better than 58, but 58 is so incredibly much better than 68 or 78!

I spaced on the way out & went up a block too far which added about .13 to the run to the hill. About halfway through the first repeat, I thought "rawt-roh ... too fast." On the second repeat, I thought "rawt-roh, forgot to eat anything before I headed out." All in all, though, it was a good session. My times were on average faster than last week, my recovery a little better, and my max heart rate for the repeats was down a bit. And I added one repeat.
