Today was my first hill workout. I staked out a continuous slope on Soapstone Dr with a lentgh of 400+ meters. I ran a mile and a half to the base of the hill, stretched, and ran 4 intervals capped off by 2 miles of cool-down. Each interval was a run uphill @ 6:00-6:15 pace for ~400 meters and a jog downhill. The intervals went smoothly though the heart definitely was pumping good at the end of each climb. Some of the drivers weren't too friendly today since I was running in the road. Despite there being two lanes, a handful of cars decided it would be better to swerve toward the guy running in the bright yellow shirt than to swerve away. People in the DC Metro area are so curteous..............
