Windy Hills

Today's 6.6 miles was almost too cool. I think the last vestiges of summer are blowing over the horizon. Today was hill repeat day, and despite the breeze it went very well. I take hills as a challenge and attack them, so I actually enjoy workouts like this. I ran a couple of miles of warmup before getting into the heart of the routine. On my way back I ran into a lady we used to go to church with and who is about 60 years old - might have mentioned her on here before. She won her age group in the KC Zoo Run as well as the Hospital Hill Run, and she is planning on running a marathon in Olathe (I think) at the end of November. She's quite the runner. Of course it'll probably be that long for me before I can win my age group. Sad when you have to rely on attrition to thin the field.
