Hills

Didn't run on Monday due to some work stuff, and didn't get in bed early enough to get up for a swim.

We went to the dam last night to run hills. Steph's been wanting to start doing hill workouts, so I took her for her first one last night. We did a short warmup run (less than a mile - about 8 minutes), then we did 10 hill repeats on a pretty tame hill. While it wasn't brutally steep, it was a little on the long side. I could feel myself planing out towards the end of each run, where the incline let up a little. Next time we'll probably do a steeper, but shorter hill to work on getting used to actually climbing.

After the hills we did about a 5 minute cooldown jog after walking down the hill, and stretched.
