Hill repeats at RSPP.  Roughly 9.5M total; no time recorded.  Ran at 10am - weather was warm, sunny, and dry.

2M w.u. + assorted unstructured hill intervals with equal distance jog + 1.5M w.d.

Repeats were supposed to roughly match the Daniels workout in the schedule I'm following, but they were mowing the hay/weeds field up there so I had to improvise. As near as I can remember, I did: 1x200, 2x100, 6x500, 4x300, and 4x100.  Last 100s all out on the steepest part of the hill.  These distances are guesses and are based more on the time it takes to run them than actual distances.

Pushed hard and felt relatively strong.  About 1/3 of the way through I was struggling and not sure I could finish, but I gutted it out and got a second wind.  Probably pushed harder today than at Thursday's race.  Had those lovely symptoms of interval work, headache and upset stomach.  Legs felt almost fully recovered from last week.  Knees were slightly sore during warm up (from squats/lunges) and left achilles was a little sore during the workout but better than last week by far.

Full lower-body weights routine at the Y afterwards.
