We met at Parkway Palisades today to run hills. First we did a warm-up around the cemetery, then it was to our old familiar routes in the Parkway Palisades neighborhood. We ran the two mile loop, and my time was just under 17 minutes. Then we did our mile repeats on the hilly street. My times there were 9:07 and 8:53. I tried not to push them too hard and keep them at marathon effort. If I can run the Veyo hill mile in 9 minutes, I'll be happy. I don't think I've ever been under 9 for that. Then Peggy and Debbie went to run some more miles, and at the time I didn't feel like it, but later I felt guilty about not doing the extra, so I ran on my treadmill for around 2 miles, so that's how I got my total mileage. Felt pretty good today. Last night I did some hamstring curls and for the first time in forever my left hamstring didn't hurt, so maybe I'm finally healing up there. |
