Startin' Off Easy

Well, maybe hills are not that bad. Or maybe it was all the fantabulous suggestions from you all that got me thru it. Seriously, I thought of your words, advice and mantras the entire time. Here's the oh-so-exciting, yet short, play by play:

  • 2 miles of a nice warm up on my normal route.
  • Then I took a detour to get to my "hill." I came, I saw, I conquered it. TWICE! It was about .3 miles up, then .3 down. I would have gone another time but I thought of Danielle's advice to take it easy and not get an injury my first time hill training.
  • 2 miles back.

Total: 5.46 miles
Time: 57:06
Calories: 603

I wish I had put on the heart rate monitor. The first time up, I felt it beating. But the second time, not as much.

There's a bigger hill that's next on my list and that bitch is mine!
I'm off now for a delisioso ensalada and to watch The Darjeeling Limited on dvd. So excited. Been wanting to see this movie. I heart Jason Schwartzman. Wierd, huh? Like, I really like him. I would totally make out with him.

I'll post my next work trip next week. I promise.

Weird... I watched The Darjeeling Limited today too. It was good, but not my favorite movie from all those guys. What did you think of Jason's stache?? ;)

NICE job on the hill work. I'll be doing my hill training monday for sure. I'm actually looking forward to it, and plan on doing something similar. Thanks for the positive remarks on your hill work.

I also would totally make out with Jason Schwartzman and I started watching it last night as well. I didn't finish it though.... too tired.

Good job on running the hills! Woo hoo!

I have plans to run Back Bay next week, apparently my friends live right next to it.

We have NO hills around here - hence why I'd like a treadmill. Damn it.

I dig Jason too. Very cute.

Viv said...

Great job, you are soo back! Keeping us hanging on the work trip huh! Way to conquer those hills!

I'd just like to add my name to the list of those willing to make out with Jason Schwartzman.
