We met up at Lock & Dam #1 again for our team training tonight for a brief discussion on injuries (how to recognize early signs, thoughts on common running issues) from a podiatrist friend of our coach, Jan. Then came a short warm-up consisting of a little over a mile jog, followed by 26.2 push-ups and crunches.
And then the real reason we were there: the quarter-mile hill down to the river. And back up to the parking lot. Down. Up. Repeat four to six times.
It was near the end of my sixth and final trip up the hill that a thought came to mind: "Every hill has an end. You just need to find it before it finds you." Between this team practice and my routes in Wisconsin last week, I am so ready for some flatlands.
Today's mileage: 4 miles, in 00:43:35 (10:53/mi).
Total mileage: 99 miles.
