Citadel Hill doesn't seem very steep...

Until you run up it 8 times! Follow that with 2 circuits around the outside of the fort and that is a workout!

I learned a lesson today about fueling up before a run - 1 hour in advance is not enough time to process the food but just the right amount of time for the food to feel like a lead weight in your stomach.

I found that running with a mid-foot strike rather than a heel strike was quite effective while running up the hill.

Thanks to Kris from Push Fitness for the tips and words of encouragement and thanks also to Peter Harrison for your company on the run around the fort! You are looking great, keep up the great work on your weight loss!
