Tonight was the first night I've done hill repeats, and yet it was still somewhat familiar. Must be because there are so many hills in the area. I found a hill in the neighborhood and ran halfway up and down three times. The next phase was to run all the way to the top, down halfway, and sprint the rest of the way down three times. Then a repeat of the first phase, halfway up and down three times. This was preceded by a couple of miles of warmup and cooldown for a total of 6.8 miles.
About 4.5 miles into the run a front came through and cleared out all the clouds. It was interesting because it had been threatening rain early in the run. The line between clouds and blue sky was clearly defined, and it was cool how quickly the clouds moved south.
Alan told me today he wouldn't be running the marathon with me on Labor Day due to some pain behind his knee. Quitter.
