Conquering those hills made me feel amazing. <br />Here, where I live literally below sea level, hills are in short supply. There is one in a park, and it's called "the hill," I think the only hill in all of Amsterdam.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14137207492303218465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2796785757974247915.post-44434066053527401672012-02-21T12:29:32.246-06:002012-02-21T12:29:32.246-06:00Caddy smells like hills.Caddy smells like hills.Glaven Q.

Running past your car makes you mentally tough, right?<br /><br />Does that have a similar benefit to hill repeats, extensions, or accelerations? I'm so new that I don't run up all the hills every day but that is what I'm working toward, and I definitely try to keep running after it tops out.<br /><br />Also- running downhill is more fun, for some strange reason. ; )<br /><br />Thanks in advance for your answer! I have grown to like the redhead photos because now I can tell at a glance that a post in my sidebar is from you.
