It is not a well kept secret that I don't like running hills. In fact some may say I avoid them like everyone else avoids the coughing guy in the office.Yeah, hills and I just don't get along. Yet, whenever I seek advice on hills training I am always met with the same two answers:. Yes you should be doing it". If you want to like it more you have to do it more". Hey hill.bring it! 650m of never-ending incline. I cringe just looking at it. For helping me set that mini goal). Speaking of not liking, that i...

I am going to go ahead and make a bold statement;. I believe that the majority of healthy folks (like us) spend way more time thinking about food than the majority of less-than-healthy folks.

The 90th Annual Boxing Day 10 Miler (see website). To actually sign up myself. That's where the list comes in:. Con: It's a training run that might solidify the...
