Got out after Kellie and Heidi and ran up to the mail boxes in Woodland Hills and then back down Woodland Hills Dr, which is a good downhill until Salem Canal Dr. I took it pretty easy on the way to the mail boxes and then on the way down I tried to stay around 6:45 trying not to pound the knee to bad. When I hit mile 5 I wanted to see if I could run a 6:00 min mile. The last time I ran this fast was on the 26th of July. I started the first .25 around 6:11 and then was able to hold the last .75 at 5:57. I wasn't totally tired at the end and I felt like I had some more in the tank! But really just wanted to see how everything felt. I hope to run more now that my bid has been turned in, unfortunately I don't find out if I got the job until Nov 4th! |
