After spending the greater part of my morning writing about running fuel, I was itching to lace up my new Asics — first run in pair #7!
I found inspiration for my workout today via my 2012 inspiration board… in addition to the fact that I was excited to break in my pink kicks in the clear, shorts-appropriate January weather.
I ran 4.25 miles in a little under 38 minutes, including 6 hill repeats. I used to do hill repeats all.of.the.time. during my high school XC days. Today I did 3 on a longer hill, mid-run, and 3 on a shorter hill at the very end of my route.
Of Possible Interest:
- Head for the Hills
- So Inclined — Dread going up? Reap the benefits of hill work by changing your routine and your attitude.
I finished up with this quick routine from Tone It Up, conveniently pinned to my Fitness Inspiration board. I will definitely be doing this one again.
How often do you hit the hills?
Hope you’ve had a rockin’ Running Tuesday.
Take care,

That Tone It Up workout looks awesome! Thanks for sharing!
I can’t wait to do it again… is that weird!? :)
I used to NEVER do hills when I was training for anything, but now that im currently not training and LOVE hills!
I love hill repeats! Perfect to get your heart rate up for instant intervals :) My apartment building sits on top of this big hill, so I found this perfect loop… hills right outside my door (whether I like it or not!).
amazeballs shoes! even better than i was imaging!!
I love that workout! I can’t wait to try it out. :-)
Love the hills! I was hitting them yesterday. Those pink shoelaces are awesome!
LOVE the pink shoelaces or anything pink really :P I hardly ever run just hills, but will do intervals with incline and resistance on the elliptical and treadmill…
I agree with Sarah. LOVE the hot pink. I’m currently rocking neon yellow!
neon is in! ;)
