I have 4 kids, 2 boys and 2 girls. 11, 9, 6 and 2. I have been married to my guy for 13 years. He is great and so supportive of my running life. He is also very active, mostly weight training and he has run 2 half marathons as well. He is very fast without training too hard. 1:28 Half Marathon!!! I am working on being able to keep up with him. Someday when are kids are older we look forward to training together.

Ran down to the beach today and ran 10 sets of stairs and 3 hill repeats. The hill was just about .12. I don't know how long of a hill I should use.. does anyone else?

It was super foggy and by the end of my run my hair was a ball of serious messiness.

Blessing: Scriptures... I have made it a point to read my scriptures after I drop my kids off at school before I do anything else. That habit has truly blessed my life over these last few weeks.

Great dedication. I've been bringing my Book of Mormon to work, but I've yet to read it. Maybe today.

As far as the hill is concerned, if it's only 0.12 miles I would push it as hard as you can. Then catch your breath for as long as it takes so that you can do it again. Do it about 10 times.

10 times?!! I did run it as hard as I could. Maybe I just need to find a bigger hill?

Britta, does it matter how many reps, wow, your on the beach, sand running is darn hard, what is your recovery time between repeats? Recovery time no more than hill repeat time?

30 second hill sprints are what we do in our group, not that WE are right. So, I would say any hill you can sprint up in 30 or seconds or more.

Nice job, running on the beach sounds so nice!

Brent,

So when I say I run on the beach I mean I run along the beach. There is a path all the way down PCH (pacific coast Highway) along the sand. It is paved.

Whatever hill I run up I usually walk or jog back down.

I am trying to build up a good base again after taking some time off, so I will add a hill every week.

Nice to meet you btw.

kelli,

miss ya!

Miss you, too!! BIG TIME. i think of you every time I run past your old house and wish you would jump out and come run wit me.

I got to thinking, we also do 1 minute hill sprints. So, I would pick a time instead of a distance.
