This I hadn't seen before! Hail was coming down in hard little cannonballs, thunder and lighting were almost overhead, and here I was, thinking "there is no such thing as bad weather, only wusses afraid of running in it." By the time i actually set off, there was easily two inches of solid hail on the ground and another inch or two on the way down. People looked at me like a madman as I ran along to the clubhouse, but somehow I was certain I wouldn't be the only one to show up to training today.

There ended up being about fifteen of us, mostly soaked to the bone even before we got to Sten Sture for the hill intervals. The work-out itself was uphill sprints, 45 seconds each, ideally reaching the same spot every time, with the jog down as rest. The hill was steep, the trail covered in a mix of smushed hail and mud, so this did not go quickly nor easily. I started out really feeling the soreness in my legs from the last couple of days, but felt better and better as the intervals went on. Ended up doing 10 of them, no one managed more. Quite dead afterwards.
