Hill Sprints

Today, it was an easy today for me. Nothing really hard was on the agenda.

Around 7am my run started with 3+ easy miles over to a dirt hill next to Mallard Creek Elementary School. Once there, I did 7 hill sprints which are roughly 100 meters in length to the top of the hill. This was followed by another 3+ miles back to the Y.

With all of the other hard workouts that I do, this one is short and intense. And best of all, it leaves me feeling energized at the end. Maybe because, it is just enough to get my heart up but it is not enough to actually overload my body with lactic acid.

Oh yeah, hopefully this will be the last day for a while that we have temps in the 20s. I am so ready for spring.
