Well, I finally joined Greg's group for hill training last night. It was great, it's so much nicer to train with a group. The evening reminded me of my Thursday night runs with the Long Run group. I did 10 hill repeats, I was planning on 8, so I was pretty happy. I was even happier this morning to find that my legs were not sore. I'm not sure if that means I'm getting stronger or if I should attribute it to Hammer's Perpetuem. :) Or maybe it was the Guinness after??
I met a few other people that are training with Greg. Everyone was very nice and encouraging. I'm looking forward to next Tuesday already.
One final thought, you know you're climbing a hill slowly when flies are able to land on your arm :)
Onward and upward...

About Me
- Leaha
- I am a former "runner" that has taken a leap into the triathlon world. I have completed 5 marathons and more than 10 half-marathons plus many other running races of various shapes and sizes. :) My wonderful, energetic, inspiring Ironman friend, Karen introduced me to the triathlon world. It is in her "impossible to fill" footsteps that I follow. I had only completed a couple of sprints and tri-a-tri's and then (in a delusional moment) signed up for the inaugural Muskoka 70.3 race. So, I hired a coach (Greg Bradley) and with his help (and my swim coach Jill - she is so patient with my endless failings in the pool!), I have finished both the Lake Chaparral Olympic and the Muskoka 70.3 races for the 2008 season.

Here's another of Greg's coachee's and her adventure with hills, and insects, that you might get a kick out of.
