Mac Woods Hill

Today's feast was a hill workout on "Mac Woods Hill".  The hor'd ourve was a 12 minute warm-up (10:27 ppm) from Park Side store to the launch pad by Mac Woods.  The assignment was to do 4 x 3:00 up the hill with a jogging  "rest" back to the launch pad.  I took off like I was leading Pickett's Charge in the first 3 min. segment (9:19 ppm).  The jog back down was also quite swift (10:05 ppm).  The second foray was a bit more sober (9:43 ppm).  The heat (70 degrees) combined with the humidity (97%) brought me to the stark realization that I was about to be ill.  However, I did the 3rd uphill in 10:14 ppm.  I should have surrendered at that point but foolishly "spaghetti-legged" the final uphill in 10:49 with my tongue flopped out below my chin.  Totally spent, I careened back to Park Side (11:36 ppm) where Mom picked me up.
