Hill Repeats...ugh!

6 x up a long steady hill with four minute (rest) jogs in between.

6 x my inner thighs are on fire = this sucks.
6 x my right quad is too tight = this sucks.
6 x I feel like I'm breathing through a cheese cloth = this sucks.
6 x I can't make my leg turn over any faster! = this sucks.
6 x I passed a squashed bug on the road = sucks for him.

Still, I managed to get a little faster with each trek up. The rewards of running hill repeats won't be immediately apparent, but increased speed and endurance are what I'm guaranteed eventually.

That + my determination to see this through with everything I've got = a feeling that does not suck as I cross the finish line under my goal time.
