We are now up to 5 repeats of hills, although when we ran them on Wednesday night it felt like we did much more than that. We (Ottawa) were in the middle of a huge wind storm, wind gusts were up to about 70 km/h and it certainly had an effect on our training. The wind was definitely against us, but not in the way we wanted it to be, it would have been great if it was against us when we were going down the hills for our recovery but no it had to be full on us as we are trying to go up these steep hills 5 times. It felt at times as if I was going backwards and at other times I almost thought I would fly away like Mary Poppins except I didn't have an umbrella.
I don't like hills to start with and this is definitely not going to help me to start liking them, in fact I dislike them even more now. Maybe next week will be different because of the lack of wind but I highly doubt it.
