HILL Workout 11/15/2007

  • Distance: 8.5 mi.
  • Time: 1:21:28 (9:35/mile)
  • Avg. Heart Rate: 158 (77%)
  • Weather: 55F Rainy

Ran a hill workout in Portland with the Red Lizards Running Group. Really tough workout. Course was 6.5 miles long but I ran to and from the hotel which was a mile away. The 3-3.5 miles that were uphill were REALLY uphill -- about a 1000m elevation gain. I was dying be the end. The run down was cake and felt much shorter than it really was. GREAT run! I really had a great time running in Portland and the running community was really inviting and I loved having an organized run every night of the week! It's also nice in Portland that they have random drinking fountains placed throughout the city so it was a much needed break halfway up the hill to stop for a minute and get some water. :)
