Today's team run started with another good round of introductions -- lots of people to get to know throughout the summer -- and a fun exercise where we named the city we went to sixth grade in. The woman next to me, Stephanie, who I've run with a few times so far, said "Tukwila, Washington." Crazy. She laughed when I said "Renton, Washington." Small world. She also works at Target, which we'd learned about a couple of weeks ago, but the whole south-end of Seattle connection was even funnier.
As for the workout itself: we started at Minnehaha Park, jogged over to the locks along the Mississippi, and proceeded to do anywhere from two to four hills (about 1/4 of a mile down, then 1/4 back up). I opted for three sets. Probably coulda woulda shoulda done all four, but it's been a long week already.
We had a nice picnic afterward. Hot dogs. Chips. Fruit. It was all good, on a gorgeous summer night.
Today's mileage: about 3 miles.
Total mileage: 43 miles.
