Hills Hills and More Hills

Ran my first "trail run" last week and realized that hills are not my friend...and there are lots of them in the woods. If I am to make my trail run goal, I am going to have to add a lot more hills. Yesterday I ran from our office to senic and back. Growing up, that was about the biggest hill around. Averaged 7:25's in recovery HR zone. Felt mighty good about myself till I imported the GPS data and say that it was a whopping 415ft elevation gain. Grey Rock has 3 2000ft climbs. Something tells me I am going to have to ramp this up. I think I am going to shoot for a Terrace Heights run this weekend. From Yac Fitness(golds) up TH Drive to 57th and straight on till morning. Looks like I can get in around 1000ft. Also I am now shooting for the Clear Lake memorial 1/2 Marathon( there is also a 5mile just around the lake). Robyn has made other arrangements to do her class.....so we are going to make a day of it. Bring on the pain! Any takers?
