Hill repeats are where you keep going up and down hills, repeatedly. It is kind of like hitting your head with a hammer repeatedly, except hill repeats are good for you. Supposedly, anyway Logan and I decided to run up and down the hill just for the fun of it. Really we just walked. But I&#8217;m calling it a run. What do you know? You weren&#8217;t there.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"DSCN5317\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/24938776764\/in\/dateposted\/\" data-flickr-embed=\"true\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm2.staticflickr.com\/1583\/24938776764_16cd41b292_z.jpg\" alt=\"DSCN5317\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><script src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" async=\"\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>So anyway we got to ground zero (that is geocacher lingo, for the place where the cache is supposed to be) and placed a new one.
