Mac Woods hill intervals

Warm and very humid day here at the lake. Storms last night knocked out the pump so I didn't get my run in until after 11:00 a.m. Strong south wind created an additional challenge for up hill running. The 10 minute warm up was followed by 5 x 2:00 up hill repeats. I jogged back to the start after every up hill foray. The workout concluded with a 10 minute cool down back to my car at Park Side. Up hill ppm's were 8:50 (3-legged jackrabbit); 9:28; 9:38; 9:47 (I see a pattern); and 9:17 (horse to the barn syndrome kicked in). Total time for repeats was 21:20 (10 min up and 11:20 down). Distance covered was 2.26 miles (9:25 ppm).
