Texas Hill Runs

Not sure that I've actually done hill repeats since we moved to Texas. In KC it was pretty simple to figure out where to run these since there was a hill the nephews name Lungdropper Hill where I would run repeats. Here there are a couple of places, but both are along busy streets and not necessarily at good places on the respective route.

Since today is probably the last day - or close to it - in the 90s, I thought I would run a mile and see how it went. If it was not good, I would just try and maintain enough to get in my 6 miles. If a little better than good, I could do repeats right after mile two and then have a cooldown on the way home. The latter is where I ended up.

Without going into too much detail, I ran almost exactly the right distance out - within .01 of a a mile - to where my seven hill repeats up the curve at Hardin ended up where I wanted at the finish. My on-the-fly calculations aside, the repeats went well, I felt pretty strong, and even though I walked once+the big hill on the way back since it was over 90 degrees, it was a good workout.
