Hills!!!

This week’s Wednesday group practice was changed to Tuesday. It was graduation day on Tuesday. No not from Team in Teaming, but from hill practice. Yes, for over a month we have been running hills on Wednesdays, but Tuesday was graduation day.



For our last hill practice we ran the “Harlem Hills”. The “Harlem Hills” can be found in the Northwest part of the park near 110th street. It is without a doubt the largest hill in the park. I ran up and down the hill 7 times. The hill stretches for about .35 miles. By the 7th one my legs felt like “cinder blocks”. I have to say it was a great workout. Mind you, we ran 1.5 miles to get to the hills, so guess what? We have to run back 1.5 miles to get to our bag location! I have to say on the run back my legs felt good.



On Wednesday, I ran 5 miles. My legs are feeling sore today. As they say “I am feeling it today”!



As you can see from the photo above, there are hills on the course. It looks like with-in the first 10 miles there is a hill. I guess what goes up must come down!
