Training run again on "THE HILL". Did three loops up and down the mile long beginning of B2B. Was joined by Dave, Megan B., Craig, and my rabbit, Erik. First and third loops were warm-up and cool-downs but by the top of the hill I was panting, puffing, sweating, and sort-of-swearing on all three.

Big improvement on my fast run this week - did the hill mile in 7:10 (last week 7:50 was my best) - most of that came from Erik pushing me the first 3/4 of a mile - nothing could push me that last quarter.

First loops w/ 2.63 miles: 20:30
Second loops w/ 3.63 miles: 24.38 (52 seconds faster than last week)
Third loop w/ 3.75 miles: 29:40

Right lower leg is tight on the lateral aspect below the knee - muscle no doubt - need ice and massage.
