Did a hill workout with Tom and Kim.  I ran to the riverbottoms hill, and then we did 8 90 second intervals.  I tried to pace just a bit since I did not know what I was getting into.  I started to cramp a little on 6 and sandbagged it on 7 and was ok for 8.  Thanks Tom and Kim for the invite and workout.  Tom lead out and did a nice workout.

I have my next race in a month, the Wasatch Back Relay.  My leg is #12 so I have a 5k up hill, a 5 mile flat and finish the race with a down hill 5 mile.  I will go to Park City on June 9th and practice my final leg.

Glad you joined us today! Join in anytime! You and Tom looked great as you were gliding effortlessly to the top of the hill!

I wasn't finished with that...

I was going to say, It's easy to see from where I am behind you guys.
