The hills out here really stink.  It's really hard to get a sense of where I'm at for speed in my training.  I don't if there's one good section in the road where I could accurately judge a mile.  It makes for some good hill training. 

I haven't been focusing on speed for awhile now.  After reading a few of the blogs for the first time sense December 2007, I really felt the need for some speed.

I couldn't judge my uphill very well, but there were a few sections in the road where it was flat with some down hill.  I pulled out a 6:43 on mile 3 and a 5:47 on mile 8.  I haven't ran that fast in a long time. 

Felt pretty good, I did a total of 8 miles.  Oh yes, the dog is still running with me.
