Running hills 1:12:00 [3]
When I do overnight races, my favourite time of day is the first light of morning when you realize that you can just start to make out the trees, and you know that the warmth of sunrise will be coming shortly.
In real life, I like to sleep right through this time of day.
But today is 'Ben'ts birthday celebration (even though his B-day is Tuesday), and he voted to do an early morning trail run, so I set the alarm to go off in the middle of the night (OK, it was 6:15). I figured it would be good for me, like wheat germ or TVO. It actually *was* fun to get together with K/O and the Saturday morning gang for a hilly run in Glen Haffy. Now I know which hill is K2 (Bruce Trail west of Centreville Creek), and it is a good long, steady climb to use for hill intervals. BulletDog had a fantastic time herding 'Bent and me like a sheepdog. After our 3-week disappearance, she is not letting us out of her sight again if she can help it! The rest of the gang continued north of Hwy 9, but I didn't want to overdo it in my 3rd run in a month.
In just one more week, K/O finds out if she's been accepted into the BIG ultra-trail run in California - exciting!!
