A steep 1/4 mile hill on the Southeast side of Zorinsky. Located ~midway between the 4.5 and 5.0 mile markers it is asphalt, winding, and a real butt kicker. Thanks to John Seiler this morning for putting his wrist magic on it and coming up with exactly a quarter mile. Linda & I did 6 X Serpent Ridge on Wednesday (jogging back down), her in 1:55’s, me in 2:0x’s. As part of today’s 11 miler John & Linda included 3 X Serpent Ridge (I could only muster 2) with a twist. After each ascent, no jogging back down, but relaxing into a controlled and quick descent, turning right onto the main path and running to the 4.5 and back @ 10K race pace, that segment is ~.75 mile, then back up the hill. If it sounds difficult it is. But what better way to get ready for Hospital Hill Half Marathon?
Congratulations to Aubree Worden for her Class B 3200 State Record yesterday, she split 5:18-5:09 on her way to 10:27.33!
Migas Con Juevos y Chorizo. It’s been fun having guests this weekend, really ignited my Culinary Muse. Fixed an Italian family style meal on Friday, Carnitas y Chile Verde last night, and my Mexican breakfast specialty, Migas, this morning. Great Friends, Great Running, and Great Food.
