Hill training

I made a change in my running habits today. Instead of the normal run, I started hill training. As the name suggests, it involves running up and down a hill. With the Kananaskis 100 Mile Relay Race on my schedule, I really have to get in training.
It was a good day for it. There was great traction. Probably because there is no snow in this town anymore. It was a high of 9 degrees today. Traction is very important when you are fighting your way up a hill.
A word of advice: Don’t have a Blizzard as a late afternoon snack when you are doing hill training in the evening.
