Hills(8x75 seconds). We were supposed to find a hill like our road hill (gradual until the last 30ish seconds, where it steepens pretty quickly), but all the hills I remembered from high school were pretty steep all the way, except for Old Mans, which aren't steep enough. So, in all my wisdom & common sense, I decided to go out to Icehouse and just run up for 75 seconds, then head back down. I went out with Alli, my mom, my aunt Judy, and Gabbie. Judy wouldn't let us head out on the revegetation path (yeah, yeah, so it's illegal. The entire world runs/rides bikes on it. Maybe not that great of an excuse, but the legal way out there is annoyingly long and steep). So my mom and I did a 20 minute warm up on that trail (Alli threw a small fit at the 11 minute mark, at which point she and my aunt cut across the desert and took a shortcut to Icehouse). When we got to the steep part of the trail, I decided to just start my hills on the way to Icehouse. We did 2 hills on the way there, then met Alli and Judy at the bottom of Icehouse (they'd already done a 3 hill progression thing and decided they were done). I did the six remaining hills up Icehouse, which actually wasn't as steep as I expected.. just really rocky. The second, third, and fourth times up were really good for me- I made it quite far. The fifth one was probably my worst. The last one I got back in the game a little bit. Gabbie was getting quite tired but she refused to stop chasing us up the hill, so my mom skipped one of the hills to keep Gabbie from running up it again. 15 minute cool down & light core.
