Hill Repeats yesterday...long run today...whew!

Yesterday I did hill repeats for the very first time. I thought I would go out and do 8 with no problem. I did 4 and almost passed out. Whew, it was a lot harder than I thought but I can tell from my long run today that I definitely will add hill repeats at least once a week. I felt like I had more endurance and was able to tackle the hills on the run today. Amazing how different training can benefit your overall run.

The last couple of weeks, on a couple of runs I started having some pain under my ribcage on the right side. After talking to one of the awesome "Phat Girlz", Nicki, she suggested it may be my breathing. So I tried to control that today and I ran 10 miles with no pain! Thanks girl, you rock!
