35 Minutes Walking plus 45 Minutes of Hills

It was like summer again this morning-really hot. I walked for 35 minutes at a moderate pace. I received my NY race packet this weekend and realized that I had better start doing some serious hill training if I wanted to make it over the Verrazano-Narrows bridge! It's the biggest hill and is right at the beginning of the race with an elevation of 260 feet. The highest "peak" in the Houston race is 75 feet.
So in light of my revelation, Patricia and I did hills tonight for an hour. We concentrated on the ramps and avoided the flats.
