Hill repeats, yay! Well, that's what I told myself when the alarm went off at 4:30AM this morning. Anything to get up and motivated, right? I met Richard, James and Ed at the old Randolph School on Drake Ave. We did a 1 mile warm up to the bottom of the nice hill at the end of Drake Ave (towards the mountain) before starting our 10 hill repeats. We did eight 2 minute hill repeats followed by 3 minute recovery jogs back down   the hill before continuing further uphill after the eighth hill repeat to do two more repeats at the last and steepest road section on Drake. While this one is shorter than 2 minutes, it certainly is steep enough to make grown men weep...especially when you've already done 8 repeats. We finished out the workout by looping around for another 1.5 miles for our cool down to finish our run back at Randolph. I am glad I dd it, but I am also glad I dont have another workout scheduled for the next 36 hours:-)
