Downhill Repeats

This workout should really be called "downhill repeats". It sounds a lot better than "hill repeats" and is not really false advertising. Think about it. For every uphill that we ran there was a downhill that we jogged. So, technically, we did as many downhill repeats as uphill repeats. And we had a lot of fun doing it.

This was the reward after the workout. These two homemade pizzas and some hot, delicious soup, salad and homemade french bread.

Look how happy these runners are during the warm-up.

Deana and Ron motor up one of the hills. Notice Deana's excellent, very bright headlamp.

Cathy and Rod share a joke, or was it the story about the guy with the extraordinarily large...

Just hanging out after dinner.

I said there might be prizes. Deana got the prize for being the first to arrive. A set of two Dallas Cowboys beer glasses.

The prize for last to arrive went to Dana who arrived just as we were leaving the driveway to start the workout. Dana got the same set of two beer glasses, but she left before I remembered to award the prizes.

Dana, I'll bring them next week to track or the Academy.

Diane collected her prize from the pace game we did at track two weeks ago, a set of 6 ceramic beer mugs.

Many thanks to Brigitte and Cathy for setting up the food while the group was out doing the workout.

All in all it was a fun evening. We got to do something different and *everybody* who did the workout stayed for dinner.
