Another hilly session!

Today was my second hill session in my training. This time I put the dog in the car and headed for the mile long hill I found earlier in the week!

This weeks hill was what I should have used last week, and it made a difference.

After a warm up walking down the hill and some stretching I tackled the hill 10 times for 1 minute each time, returning back down the hill at a walk for 1 minute and a 30 second jog to return to my same starting point each time.

I really pushed it up the hill each time and was quite surprised how far I actually ran in 1 minute (and up a hill). Moose (my dog) got a bit tired on the 8th trip back up the hill (the game got a bit boring for her at that point) so I sat her half way down and being the fantastic obedient dog that she is....waited for me to come back up the hill to collect her!

I am so pleased with myself that I am keeping to my training plan so well. I have so much more confidence in myself to succeed now that I'm not just trying to guess how to train.

Well, my dog is fast asleep , and I'm off to enjoy a bottle of wine with my hubby with my feet up!
