Hills and Malawi

so tonight we ran hills...that is hill repeats...five okay i was peer pressured into six times...this is my first time for this sort of thing...r.e.s.t. is the goal...relax...no earings made from your shoulders...effort...exert some you _are_ running up a big hill...stride...think about it but it will shorten on its own...take the top...yeah pass the person in front of you and get back on your goal pace...sounds good right...yeah it's hard...and then for more fun...run backwards up the hill a few times too...it really is as hard as it sounds...but man was it fun...i know everyone must think i am a nut...but i love this stuff...and that is the whole point...it is no fun if you don't like the process...right...it's all about the process...also tonight our team talked about sponsoring a runner from Malawi...we would need to raise about $3000 to be able to bring that runner here to participate in the Austin marathon...this could be an amazing experience...i am totally down...and i would bake my little heart out and have my own lil bake sale to raise my share of the funds...and i know that we can do it...i might even take charge...you never can tell with me :P

One other thing regarding E: you're focusing on keeping the effort, so that means your pace will drop. Which is ok. Because you'll take the top.

The way you worded the Malawi project on the message board was perfect. I was worried if I did it, the tone wouldn't come out right. Yours was perfect.
