Running up a hill

It was such a pleasant July evening that I even felt guilty not to do a long run. Instead, Maureen - my running buddy - and I ran up a hill as our speed work. I learned the routine last Thursday when a small group from Cox Fitness Centers was training under Mark Millsap for the 5K race on July 21. It was quite demanding: both Maureen and I were sweating after six repeats, and we had to walk quite a distance before we could jog back to my house.

But I knew it was a good workout because by the time we got back we felt good.
