Although I've been training for Tough Mudder, one thing I've neglected to do was some hill work (you run up and down a ski hill during the event...). With the event on Saturday, I thought I'd do a workout just to see what hill running will be like. For my first, last and only hill workout, I decided to go to Elver Park, as pictured in this shot.

It was 96F with about the same in humidity out, so it wasn't pretty. The hill is BIG too (see the small people there?!) I only ran up it 5 times before I was pretty wiped. Unluckily, the power was out at our house as well when I returned home so no air-conditioned relief. Hopefully the event Saturday has some cooler weather, or it will be really interesting how it all works out...
