Continuing with the Thursday hill day theme. With my tender foot and ankles I wasn't sure if tackling Eagleridge was a good idea. The foot felt pretty good this morning so I gave it a go. The run starts with 3 easy miles then 2 miles straight up (12% grade according to a road sign). It actually felt really good going up. My legs felt strong and the burning in my lungs was satisfying. Stopped at the golf course and enjoyed the view for a few minutes. Headed back down and just focused on a good turnover, getting my feet off the ground quick and throwing my stride behind me. It is almost too steep to get into a good rhythm. Definitely aggravated my foot but I don't think it is too serious. Good way to start the day. |
