Short-Term Running Goals:

Maybe run a few more marathons?? Stay healthy, motivated and consistent.  Races are fun, but unlike the hokey pokey, its not what its all about for me.  Its about health, sanity and feeling great about myself bc I can call myself a runner. :)

Total Distance
5.00

Ran to the light and then sprints all the way up NC with short walking recovery in between. That is a good way to get that annoying street over with. Then ran normal back down to home. Felt better today. Still moving pretty slow but it was better. The sprints woke my body up a little bit I think. Now hopefully I don't spend the day in bed with headaches AGAIN. It can't be the diet coke still. There has to be something else going on with me. Wish I knew what..Here's to a better day. Get High!

sounds like a good workout - nice sprints. i'm glad you're feeling a bit better today.

One way to deal with Newcastle is to only run down it for a while. You can go up Falcon Way to the south or Alta Canyon to the north, you know, past the buffalo. After a few weeks going that way, Newcastle seems relatively flat.

Another way to deal with it is to avoid it altogether. You just pretend it does not exist. If you ignore it long enough, maybe it will go away. However, this strategy severely limits your options locally. You'll inevitably be running worse hills. (This is starting to sound more and more like the first option.)

A third option might be to get someone to start a shuttle service. They just get a van or a bus or something and keep driving people up it so they can run down. Maybe a flatbed truck with some treadmills on it so you can keep running while it drives you up and then you can keep your heart rate up. I guess it wouldn't have to be treadmills. It could be rowing machines. Then it might look like the runners were rowing the truck up the hill.

I think the last one might be the best solution. But sprints probably work, too.

LOL Jeff! I'm just seeing this! I LOVE your third option. I find that would be the best and also the most hilarious. Which makes anything better. Thanks for the AMAZING advice. ha! Let's Row!
