Yay! New running shoes (mine are 3 years old…)
I opted for the Zoot Energy since I run sockless and don’t have complicated shoe needs for my feet. I’ll let you know how they feel when I have my first run in them (which won’t happen until AFTER the Drake Half on Saturday).

Following a tip from my boss, I was finally able to find a good hill for repeats. Meet the Lookout Hill. It’s certainly not the biggest hill ever, but it is perfect for repeats as it only takes a minute…or two to bike or run up it and it’s steep enough to get a good workout in. So today I biked over to it, and did 5 bike repeats, the only rest was biking down the hill and 3 run repeats. I’m going back for more on Thursday and will hopefully bang out 5 and 5. My goal is to get over to the hill once a week and will vary the workout by reps and time.

Now the Better Half and I are heading out for another bike ride! Beautiful weather is awesome!!
