Hanna Ps - 8x letter P w/ 90secs rest intervals
Each letter P = 785m
 
Terrain: asphalt with one mild hill on the way out, then the downhill on the loop of the P
Weather: mild, a bit damp, extremely windy!

I was late coming from work, so I arrived as the group was on their last loop.  I ran the first two as a warm-up, and despite this precaution, still developed my running cramps.  So I took a ~10min break until they passed so that I could run really hard.

The wind was blowing against me on the uphill for extra fun, while on the downhill, it was so strong at my back at times, that I felt like I couldn't pedal my feet fast enough to keep up!

I tried to incorporate the posture pointers I got at the run clinic, which was to push my hips forward and my shoulders back (to keep a straight line through the body).  It was quite challenging to run at speed in this position.

I also did the ABC drills in between sets, but the Bs were just brutal.

The six Ps at speed:
3:36 / 3:35 / 3:28 / 3:30 / 3:34 / 3:23

--Distance: 6.3K
--Duration: 45mins w/ break

My running cramps are becoming more frequent and are being set off my milder and milder workouts.  I'm getting this investigated with an ultrasound, and possibly a laparoscopy if there's evidence I could have endometriosis (I meet many of the symptoms.)  It's scary, but if this would help, I'd gladly take the time to get it done.  These cramps are too debilitating.
