My friend did tell me about the runs with Peggy. I have yet to get involved but I do want to for sure. I used to be a solo runner but I have now realized (after years of running) that running with others is a much more beneficial training workout. Im doing the Pat G tri in Middlebury CT (at Lake Quassy). Im a slow swimmer and just HATE doing it because it takes me forever to get that heart rate up. One of my best friends is a former Boston College swimmer and he has been training me as best as he can but some of his water workouts are just INSANE. I headed to CF today, maybe Ill see ya! Happy Training! BTW - your bike is beautiful!!! I saw the pics on FB. I may need your help with my bike and "fitting" myself to it.

OK - the leaning forward and pumping the arms helped from your suggestion along with Craig's idea to climb a hill like stairs on my toes but picking my knees up more. So I put those together because they made the most sense to me and TAAA-DAAA! I am now a better hill runner! BTW - I think I saw you at Club Fit Sunday dropping your babies off....I was picking mine up after a one mile GASPING for AIR swim. I have a sprint tri in 2 weeks!
