6 hill repeats today.  I got really mad when I was doing them.  I ran out one mile with a hand held water bottle that I won at the Lake to Lake relay.  I put the water bottle at the bottom of the hill and start to run.  As I do this the crossing guard at the bottom of the hill watches me go up and down twice and take a drink out of the bottle each time I come down.  The third time I come down I can't find my bottle...I look up just in time to see two boys on the other side of the street walking away with it.  I whistled got their attention and asked them to bring it back.  They said they were sorry, I really was not upset with them I was more upset with the crossing guard who watched them take it and then helped them across the street and said nothing.  I was not going to drink out of the bottle any more since I was not sure what the boys had done with it.   I still had three repeats and a mile cool down with out any water.  I felt like Tantalus, I had a ton of water but couldn't drink any of it. Anyway thank you for listening to me rant I am better now.

for some reason I don't have that last down repeat on my garmin...not sure why I think it was because I changed it back to a mile lap too soon.

Like you said, you don't blame the kids you blame the crossing guard (what a dope). Nice work woman!

AWESOME work on the hill repeats! May be the crossing guard got up the wrong side of the bed.
