Because it feels so good when you stop! And I had to do 10 of them because Claudette did 10 a few days ago. Got to keep up with the Regniers you know. Hills are so hard and for this very reason I know how beneficial they are. I am totally knocked out. The challenge is to run hard and steady, and to maintain your pace right through to the end. I was getting up the hills in 2 mins, 30 sec's and closer to 3 minutes down. If this seems strange it's because the intent on the way down is to recover almost completely, before tackling the next one. Believe me the 3 minutes goes by much faster than the 2 1/2! My last hill was 2' 25" so mission accomplished. Combined with my warmup and cooldown jog's I got a total of 15k. I went downstairs to do my little strength workout tonite but it was really only for show.
While I write I'm watching a special tribute to Leonard Cohen performed by Canadian musicians, and as much as I love him, and am always blown away by his lyrics, he has written some very melancholy music. Some of it makes me kind of sad. Check out a singer named Serena Ryder if you have never heard of her....she is very good.
That's all I have today, other than to remind you all how much I appreciate you, my family and friends.
I wish to dedicate day 53 to my neice Erin, just for gifting her mom with those 3 beautiful grandchildern!

I love Leonard Cohen and could not watch the special as it just seems wrong to hear other musicians sing his stuff, I caught him at the end, though and he still does it for me!!
