The Hills Kicked My Butt!

Those dang V'burg hills kicked my butt today! First of all, I didn't run them with pizza in the stomach thinking that would help - I ran 2 minutes slower! What's up with that? I ran in the heat (and it was Hades hot - until summer of course) and it was kicking my butt. I ran to the top of Mt. Everest (the big bad winding hill) and laid out on a monument and recovered my racing heart and finally at mile 5 told Scotty to go for it. The young punk ran the last mile in 6 minutes! SIX MINUTES!!!!!

I finished my run in 1:05:30 and was pooped! 2 minutes slower than last time and I think I will get that pizza for the next time I run the park. Blog on Marathoners!

Apparently you did not take in the proper amount of protein and carbs needed for your run. You have also been a bit dehydrated. You really ought to watch that - heehee....

That sounds like the run I had last Thursday. But the surface I ran on was waaaay flatter than yours. Kudos for finishing the run! :)
