Slow miles...fast miles... who can really say?  I'm going to log quality miles as fast miles.  The quality miles today were a unique form of torture, also known as hill repeats.  Glover Lane, Frontage to Main, 6x.  1st one 1:45.  2nd one 1:45.  Then the gapping/gasping started.   And the borderline hurling at the stopsign.  How silly of me to try and keep pace with Jasmine and Cynthia.  By the end, I'm sure I drifted to around 2 minutes.  The last rise is a steeper section that took me from 90% effort to 105%, at least it felt like it.  

If I'm going to be a runner, I need to act like one, at least occasionally.   Workouts instead of aimless meandering about.  This was another step in the right direction.

I actually prefer meandering. I'm glad Jasmine and Cynthia were there tomotivate you!
