I did another hill session today. First time I measured the hill and discovered just how much mileage I was putting on my legs during one of these little sessions.
I had first estimated the distance to be about half a track lap, a 220 or about an 8th of a mile (.125 mile). Today, I put it on DailyMile and it came out to about a tenth of a mile, which seems reasonable.

Hills Again Today
Yesterday I had decent hill workout and kicked it.
Today, I got kicked... into the middle of next week.
High temperature, high humidity, and some lingering fatigue from yesterday’s hill repeats worked together to create a difficult hill workout today. Probably should not have done back-to-back hills but it’s too late for that now.
I was able to use different strides, integrating some bounding strides, some longer kicks, some shorter and faster steps, and some high kicks.
Felt drained, but I gave the hip a workout. I should be ready for a track workout tomorrow.
Hill run today. 40 hill repeats for an hour. Total exposure time 2.5 hours

Running Motivation From Supportive Community
Today was a hill day.
The hip was still hurting from yesterday’s track workout, so the 45 minute run to the hill started off at a very easy pace until I could loosen up the locked up hamstring and inner thigh muscles.
My usual route takes me down one particular street where my fans hang out. That is right, I have fans. And after a three-week absence, they were back today.
The first fans appeared right about the beginning of May when the temperatures started getting warm, about two weeks before the Cleveland Marathon.
