So I ran up to UWIC to do the track workout, but when I got there there was a lacrosse game going on on the rugby field! I felt like I would be in the way running there, so I watched lacrosse for a while (I've never seen it before!! I'm even more excited to watch RUGBY!!! I got a ticket to the Varsity game :) isn't it weird that there's only one?!?!!!) and then I ran to this little wooded hilly trail that Krzysztof had pointed out to me once. I decided that a hill rep day was in order, because I haven't really done an actual hill workout since I've been here. I just run on hills all the time.

I think it's about 350 meters, according to mapmyrun.com. rough at the bottom, wind-y (as in winding, not wind. how do you spell that???), with mud patches that they tried to fill in with wood blocks. so it's a mess in places. gradually uphill, then very steep the whole second half. also had to avoid dogs and their walkers the entire time. and an old man carrying his shopping who congratulated me on my efforts to kill the hill. :P

Did 10 by hard up, recovery back down.

83,82,82,83,82,82,85,86,88,83

I have solid excuses for the 85 and the 86. The 85 I tripped and stumbled on one of the terribly-placed wood blocks. rolled an ankle, but recovered quick. the 86 I ran into a man and a woman and three leashed dogs. it was a bit chaotic trying to get through. the path is not very wide. The 88 was just a fail, I got distracting thinking about what would happen if I ever got kidnapped on a run in Cardiff and then I looked up and realized I was close to the top and moving very slowly. :P

Leg felt much better today. Happy about that. Unproductive week; I'm going to try to get through some structures work tonight, because soil has being completely killing me. anger.
