In the end - we did 4 nice-sized hills in Southwood and then another little one on the way back to the office.
Because we rock!
After my half last weekend - I am sold on this whole hills and speed training thing. I have no doubt that it made it easier for me to run longer and stronger with shorter recovery because my legs had been tortured for a couple of weeks beforehand.
I really can't wait to get home and check out the elevation for these once I download my Garmin. It was an awesome hill workout...but these Southwood hills are killer!
LOL! I added some hills into our running course for my cross country team, and I think they are paying off, too. Everyone ran a faster time at this last meet! :)

I figure the only good thing about hills is when you can say you're done them HA! But if it can make me run a half like the one I did last week and not be in pain after...I think they are worth it. I'm just gald I moved to an office in a hilly neighbourhood!
