PCRG - Hills

Yesterday at PCRG it was a hill session in The Gardens. I had a bit of DOMS from Sunday's race (especially in my calf muscles) so started out steady. Nothing much hurt so just gradually increased the effort with each hill. And to make up for not going 100% on the ups I didn't back off on the downs.

After the final rep we all gathered at the top of the hill and Pat selected four people, including Julie, to do one last shorter rep. As they headed down he sneakily informed us it was Julie's birthday as so as she powered up the hill we formed a guard of honour and sang "Happy Birthday". Cute :-)

Happy birthday Julie.

Speedygeoff embarasses us with birthday announcements, but luckily no guard of honour. I hope he doesn't get any ideas.

before i read the prose, i thought that was a pic of some new torture Pat had dreamed up - running up hill but hunched over under low overhanging arms so one cannot breathe fully.

As "ihatetoast" if running under a tunnel of sweaty armpits is considered a good B'day present I wonder what you guys do for Christmas?

Looks like you did it pretty tough on the half, well done for getting your goal time.
