1st day crawling out of my hole

Monday hill repeats went slow but steady. I started with a 1 mile warm up (9:44 pace), then I started the repeats on a hill near my gym. I decided to keep the garmin on the entire time until I finished back at the gym. Speed is not the issue right now, NOT walking is the issue. I shuffled up so many times that I lost count. Guess I need to look at the elevation levels, duh? I jogged/shuffled in between repeats at the top to Jackson & then back down. In the end I ended up with a total of 4.69 miles with the warm up. Not too bad, especially since I tried to sprint back to the gym. I felt good!

Thought today about how I should run the 1st 12-13 miles of the West End Ramble with the striders Sat. After discussing it with a great motivator, I think I'm in... I thought about running in Percy Warner on friday since I'm off but the W. End Ramble seems more appealing to me now that I think about it. So, if the blog stalker reads this he's more than welcome to join me there. :)

35 mins elliptical, AB machine, & a few weights rounded out my Monday workout.
