The Hills Grand Finale

• Wed, Dec 2: Hills #5, and a single moment of some triumph!

This evening, I was in a very bad mood. I wasn't sure I should even go, my mood was so off. I kept asking myself "To go, or to go home?" lol. I got to practice late, so late in fact that I met up with the group at 7:30pm (and we have to be back for our bags at 8:00pm). We were doing our last set of hill repeats, and I managed to get in 3. But what a 3!!!

First time up - not bad, but nothing to shout home about. Second time up - this deserves it's own bullet points.

• Captain Robyn insisted I run faster and ran the last half up with me.
• I was so surprised that I was a) going faster, and b) keeping up with Robyn, that I asked her whether she was "running slow".
• When she said she wasn't, I ran faster. And faster!

Now, I was gasping for breath and nearly died at the top, but what a run! Captain Robyn was proud, I was proud, there was just a whole bunch of pride! lol

My third and last time up was also nothing to shout home about - I was tired already. But the endorphins were great, because I was now in a good mood. I actually felt sorry I hadn't gotten there earlier. What a turnaround. I still have a little pleased smile when I think about it. Go, me!
