I have been dreading today's workout all week long. Don gave us a hill workout of 6 by 2 minute hill repeats on center street near the top, in Providence. Usually we would do a 30, 60, 90, 120 seconds hill repeats but today it was straight 2 minutes every time. The center street hill is so long and steep, so it would be perfect for this workout. Hayden wasn't able to be there, but Eric and Trey tagged along. We did a little under a mile for a warmup. When we started I tried to stay as close as I could to 5k pace and really push the hill. I just kept on focusing on markers in front of me and really tried pushing it to those markers. On every set I was able to make it to the top of the hill and around the right hand turn where there was this garbage can that I tried to pass everytime. In 2 minutes my watch showed that I was able to go about .30 everytime which I guess is pretty good for how steep the hill is. On my last set I pushed it as hard as a I could and got past my farthest record. I had to just sit down on the road for a couple minutes because I probably would've fallen over if I tried staying up. I was at about 3.5 for mileage, so Eric and I cooled down to 5 miles. Man am I happy to be done with that.
Went to the Sports Academy and did 3 easy to moderate miles on the treadmill, then went and lifted weights. I am gonna be so sore tomorrow. Yay. Peace.
