Drove to the rec center to meet the running club. Got there early so I ran 2.5 miles before others showed up. I was asked to come up with a couple of routes this month so for today I wanted to throw in some hills. I came up with 3 different loops each with varying difficulty. I ran the harder loop which was up 1800 South to Bountiful Blvd. then back to the rec center. I used to run up this road once a week when I was training seriously and I forgot how beneficial it is. It is tough but a really good work out. Of course, doing it the morning after a race wasn't the greatest idea. I was pretty worn out but was able to finish it. Coming back down was tough because my legs didn't have the spring in them to generate a quick enough turnover to run downhill efficiently. Came home and Gracie wanted to run so I ran 1/2 mile with her.
